Any cricket match that involves Pakistan and India is bound to be thrilling and the women's cricket teams of both countries gave fans of the game yet another opportunity on Sunday to enjoy the decades-old sporting rivalry.

Even though Pakistan lost to India by 107 runs, it was heartening to see the players showing their camaraderie off the pitch and demonstrating that women really can do anything.
