Mona Mishram has played 26 ODIs and 11 T20Is for India. With great hope, he said, 'All India will pray for Pakistan. Please beat Pakistan, New Zealand.'
There is no doubt about the prayer that cricket lovers in India were sitting on. Harmanpreet Kaur too must have prayed in her heart. Pakistan had no choice but to accept some conditions and win against New Zealand in Dubai today to ensure India's survival in the Women's T20 World Cup. However, Pakistan also had a chance to meet the conditions and reach the last four. But far from fulfilling the conditions, Fatima Sana's team could not play a normal game.
Batting earlier, New Zealand's 20 overs scored 110 runs for 6 wickets, Pakistan's 'contribution' missed 8 catches! After that, Pakistan disappointed the Indians by chasing runs with an equation in mind. Pakistan were all out for just 56 runs in 11.4 overs.
With this loss, India also left the Women's T20 World Cup with Pakistan. New Zealand became the runner-up of the 'A' group in the semi-finals. Australia has already confirmed the semi-final with 4 wins in 4 matches from this group.
Australia tops Group A with a total of 8 points from 4 wins in 4 matches. Group runners-up New Zealand with 6 points from 3 wins in equal matches. India returned home as the third team in the group with a total of 4 points from 4 matches with 2 wins and 2 losses. Apart from confirming their return home, the return of Pakistan, which is in fourth place with 2 points from 1 win in 4 matches, is also confirmed. By losing all 4 matches, Sri Lanka, the bottom team of this group, has already been confirmed.
Suzy Bates scored 28 runs for New Zealand. 22 runs came from the bat of Brook Hallid. Nasra Sandhu took 3 wickets for 18 runs for Pakistan. Chasing down to secure the semi-finals, Pakistan had the equation – 111 runs to be scored in 10.4 overs. If you make 112, you have to do it in 10.5 overs. 113 means the end of the 11th over.
