Pakistan advanced to the semi-finals of the 2024 Women’s Asia Cup after India secured an 82-run victory over Nepal at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium on Tuesday.

India was already in a strong position to qualify for the final four after posting 178/3 in 20 overs. The bowlers restricted Nepal to 96/9. India had previously defeated Pakistan and UAE as well.

The Girls in Green defeated the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by 10 wickets in a must-win match earlier today.

Chasing a target of 104 runs, Pakistan’s opening pair of Gull Feroza and Muneeba Ali delivered outstanding performances with the bat, reaching the target in just 14.1 overs without losing a wicket.

Feroza scored 62 off 55 balls with eight fours, while Muneeba contributed 37 runs off 30 deliveries with four boundaries.

Pakistan also became the first team to win a match by 10 wickets in the history of the Women’s T20 Asia Cup.

After being asked to bat first, the UAE women struggled as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

Skipper Esha Oza (16 off 26) and Theertha Satish (40 off 36) were the top scorers for UAE, while only Khushi Sharma (12 off 13) managed to contribute runs in double figures.

For Pakistan, Sadia Iqbal, Nashra Sandhu, and Tuba Hassan took two wickets each, while skipper Nida Dar claimed one.
