Indian women's team thrashed Pakistan by 107 runs in their opening contest at the ICC Women's World Cup 2022.
India had prevailed in all 10 previous one-day matches between the two, but Bismah Maroof`s team threatened to pull off an upset when they reduced Mithali Raj`s side to 114-6 in the 34th over.
Opener Smriti Mandhana made 52 but it was counter-attacking knocks from lower-order batters Pooja Vastrakar (67) and Sneh Rana, who made unbeaten 53, that helped India to a decent total of 244-7.
Indian seamers kept it tight upfront and spinner Rajeshwari Gayakwad (4-31) wrecked the middle order as Pakistan were bundled out for 137 with seven overs remaining in their innings.
After the match, the Indian players walked up to the Pakistani dressing room to meet the baby of Pakistan captain Bisbah Maroof.
