Pitch Report

We're playing on pitch no. 4 and there is a lot more covering of grass. It is quite hard but the chances of the ball nipping around may be less. But spinners should come into the game as it progresses. But of course, it should be a field day for batting!

Commentary

That wraps up our coverage of this encounter with India almost guaranteeing themselves a place in the semi finals and UAE Finding themselves on the cusp of elimination. We have a whole lot of action going on, make sure you catch up on that. From here, it is Sourabh and Bidipto taking your leave. Goodbye!

Harmanpreet Kaur (India Women captain) : I am absolutely fine. It was a great feeling (getting 200). When me and Jemi were batting, we wanted to run hard and put the balls away, get 7-8 an over. When Richa came in, I asked her to play her natural game. We had good partnerships, Richa played really well, credit goes to her. That was a really special innings (her 171 vs AUS), whenever Women's cricket is spoken of in India that is a special memory, gives me positive vibes. Really happy, today we lost early wickets but we kept ourselves ready.

Richa Ghosh (Player of the match) : I'm really happy. When I was playing with Harry di (Harman), she was telling me how the bowl is coming, I really enjoyed. In practice, I think whatever opportunity comes to me I will back myself. The first cover drive was my favorite. Feeling good now (on her concussion in the previous series against SA).

Esha Rohit (United Arab Emirates Women captain): A lot of learnings from this game for sure. We needed to finish the innings with the ball better and we also needed to begin better with the bat. These are the areas to improve upon, looking at the opposition. And of course, there is always no room for complacency against such a wonder side. So, we cannot slacken at any stage. Hopefully, the next games happens to be out best of the group stage.

Time for the post-match presentation!

India Women defeat UAE Women by 78 runs

Harmanpreet Kaur 66(47) | Deepti Sharma - 2/23 (4)
Kavisha Egodage 40*(32) | Kavisha Egodage - 2/36 (4)

A thumping victory for India over an ever-improving UAE side who were no match for the 7-time champions and the margin of victory truly reflects the gulf of quality between the two sides as India have outplayed UAE in all the three departments of play.

Chasing a mammoth 202, a record target, UAE were never in the contest right from the beginning. They never got any kind of tempo into the innings and were found wanting by a long long way. The first wicket fell in the fifth over and soon after the second one was scalped as well within the powerplay.

UAE were 36/3 at one stage before skipper Esha Oza and Kavisha Edogade showed some resistance with the bat and played some sensible cricket to put up a 40-run stand for the fourth wicket. Oza fell to the debutant Kanwar and it was just a matter of getting through the overs with UAE never threatening the total for even once.

Every bowler used by the Indians got a wicket each as they put up a clinical performance. This should see them through to the semi finals having now won 2 out of the 2 matches played.

19.6 Radha Yadav to Kavisha Egodage, INDIA WOMEN WIN RATHER EASILY! RUN OUT! Good length ball on off-and-middle. Pushed to the mid-on area on the up for a single. They try to take a quick run and in the process, Ritihika sacrifices her wicket as Richa makes no mistake with the collection and dislodging of the bails this time!

Rithika Rajith run out (Radha Yadav/Richa Ghosh) 6 (7b, 0x4, 0x6)

19.5 Radha Yadav to Kavisha Egodage, OH NO! FOUR RUNS GIFTED! Good length ball around off-stump. Lofted on the charge to the long-on area. The ball drops in front of the fielder but Deepti makes a mess of it and allows it to bounce over her for a boundary!

19.4 Radha Yadav to Kavisha Egodage, good length slower ball around off-stump. Kavisha goes across and sweeps to mid-wicket, no run here.

19.3 Radha Yadav to Kavisha Egodage, full around off-stump. Hacked around to the wide long-on region by clearing the front leg for a single. They run back for the second and yet another dive helps Kavisha, as well as, the miss of the collection by Richa!

19.2 Radha Yadav to Rithika Rajith, good length ball around middle-stump. Swept around off the bottom edge to the short fine-leg fielder for a quick single! Kavisha's dives have been brilliant today!

19.1 Radha Yadav to Kavisha Egodage, round the wicket, full around off-stump. Dragged around to deep mid-wicket from the crease for a single.

Radha Yadav [3.0-0-21-1] will bowl the final over

Just the mere formalities remain in this contest now, UAE need 87 runs in 6 balls.
