Pakistan women outplayed

Published December 21, 2006

JAIPUR, Dec 20: The result didn’t matter, as India had already qualified for the women’s Asia Cup final. But their dream run in the Asia Cup continued as they registered their fourth successive win, beating Pakistan by a whopping 103-run margin in the final league match here on Wednesday.

In an inconsequential match for either team, Pakistani women crawled to 141-8 in their chase of 245 after being restricted by the Indian spinners.

Earlier, Sunetra Paranjpe (52) and Rumeli Dhar (42) were the main contributors in the Indian innings which closed at 244-7.
