India Vs Pakistan Women’s T20: Twitterati Praise Mithali Raj For ‘her Class And Experience’

A half-century by Mithali Raj guided India to a seven-wicket victory against arch-rivals Pakistan in the ICC Women’s World T20 in Providence, Guyana on Sunday. India chased down the target of 134 with six balls to spare, reaching 137 for 3 in 19 overs. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Veda Krishnamurthy remained not out on 14 and 8 respectively. With the win, India are now a step closer to making it to the semifinals of the World T20 from the five-team Group B.
Following the win, Mithali tweeted, “Thank you India for cheering us on! Great to see such engagement & support for the #WomenInBlue 🇮🇳 Hope to keep the momentum going & spend more time on the field 🙂 See you on the 15th!.”
Pakistan were penalised for five runs twice during their innings for their batswomen running on the danger area. Thus, 10 runs were added to India’s innings when they come out to bat. Former Indian cricketers rejoiced at the ‘sweet victory’ as India avenged their narrow 2-run defeat under D/L method in 2016.
