Richa Ghosh raced off to 31 not out in 20 balls to combine with half-centurion Jemimah Rodrigues to give India an excellent opning win in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup at Newlands as they gunned down 150 with an over to spare.
While Harmanpreet Kaur and Rodrigues fought back, Nashra Sandhu sent Kaur back in the 14th over to give Pakistan a huge boost. But Ghosh and Rodrigues took over from there to lead India to a brilliant win.
Bismah Maroof and Muneeba Ali took the attack to Sharma to help Pakistan to 39/1 at the end of the power play, their highest against India in the first six overs in women's T20Is. The in-form Sidra Amin joined Maroof in the middle and the duo put on 25 for the fourth wicket before a freak dismissal saw Amin dismissed by Radha.
