Cricket - Commonwealth Games: Day 6 — Shafali Verma in action for India

India Women will lock horns against the United Arab Emirates Women in the eighth match of the Women’s Asia Cup T20 2022 on Tuesday (October 4). The game will be played in Sylhet with the Sylhet Outer Cricket Stadium set to play host to this clash.

The Women in Blue have gotten off to a brilliant start to the competition. They have played two games and won both. After defeating Sri Lanka Women in their opening game, they carried forward the winning momentum to beat Malaysia Women in their next game on Monday (October 3).

After being asked to bat first, the Indian side posted a mammoth 181 on the board, thanks to contributions from Sabbhineni Meghana (69) and Shafali Verma (46). The bowlers reduced Malaysia Women to 16/2 in the sixth over before rain washed out the remainder of the game. The Indians won the game by 30 runs on the DLS method. They will be looking to repeat their performance against UAE Women on Tuesday.

United Arab Emirates (UAE) Women, on the other hand, faced Sri Lanka Women in their first game of the Women’s Asia Cup T20 2022. It was a rain-curtailed fixture and the UAE Women came very close to winning it but rain played a spoilsport and they ended up on the losing side.

Mahika Gaur and Vaishnave Mahesh picked up three wickets apiece to restrict Sri Lanka Women to 109 at the end of their 20 overs. The second innings was reduced to 11 overs and the revised target was 66. UAE Women kept losing wickets at regular intervals and fell short by 11 runs. They will be hoping to bounce back in the competition.
