IND-W vs PAK-W Asia Cup 2026 LIVE Score: India beat Pakistan by seven wickets in Dubai

Harmanpreet Kaur finished it off with a six. India win the match by seven wickets. India move to the semi-finals by remaining unbeaten.

India are 45/3 after eight overs. Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma are keeping the scoreboard ticking as only 11 runs are needed for the team to register the win. 

India are 34/3 after the powerplay. Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma are currently out in the middle. They need 22 runs more to win the game. 

Smriti Mandhana departed for nine runs off 11 balls. Fatima Sana picked up her third wicket of the night. This is extremely poor from India as well. They are 29/3. Even though India will be confident of their chances from here on, but some tragic batting display. 

Another wicket for Pakistan and another wicket for Fatima Sana. Very, very poor for Pratika Rawal. She departed for four runs. India are now two down for only 18 runs. This is poor from India. Harmanpreet Kaur joins Smriti Mandhana in the middle. 

Shafali Verma's short innings ended. She departed for 12 runs off six balls. India are now 13/1. Captain Fatima Sana picked up the prized wicket. 

Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma are out to open the batting for India. Sadia Iqbal has been handed the new ball. Well, guess that. Shafali has started the innings with a gigantic six. She also completed 3000 runs in T20Is. 

Deepti Sharma picked up the final wicket of the innings. Tuba was stumped for nine runs. Pakistan are bundled for 55 runs, their lowest score in T20I cricket history. 

Prema Rawat picked up her third wicket. Her career-best spell. Pakistan are now 54/9 in the middle. Nashra Sandhu departed after a five-ball duck. 

Prema Rawat has struck her second wicket of the night. Umm-e-Hani is gone for six runs. Pakistan are now 48/8. 

A run-out! That was what was missing in the match. Eyman Fatima has departed for five runs. Pakistan are now seven wickets down for 45 runs. 

Pakistan are finding some important runs at the moment. Charani returned for her third over, but she failed to claim any more wickets. Pakistan are 44/6 after 12 overs. 

What is going on in the middle? Deepti Sharma struck now. Pakistan are 35/6. Agony for Pakistan. 

Pakistan lose their fifth wicket now. Prema Rawat struck in her first over. Sadaf Shamas departed for just three runs in eight balls. Pakistan are now 35/5 after nine overs. 

Another over, another wicket. Charani with three wickets now. Ayesha tried to go for a boundary, but Harmanpreet Kaur picked up a sensational catch. Pakistan are now 32/4 in Dubai. They just can't show patience, can they?

Pakistan's disaster continues. Shawaal has now departed for 14 runs off 14 balls. Charani took her second wicket of the over. Pakistan are now reduced to 29/3. Shawaal was trapped LBW. Pakistan are big, big trouble. 

Pakistan lose their second wicket. Feroza departed for a four-ball duck. Pakistan are now 28/2 after 5.2 overs. Very, very poor from the team. Coming at three, after playing three dots, Feroza attempted a big shot, but failed to time it. Nandani picked up a simple catch and with that Charani picked up her first wicket of the night. 

Pratika Rawal had dropped Muneeba Ali again in the fifth over, but on the very next ball, Shafali Verma picked up the prized wicket. Muneeba departed for 13 runs off 15 balls. Pakistan are now 27/1 after 4.3 overs. 

Seven runs were scored in Nandani Sharma's second over. Pakistan are now 23/0 after four overs. They need to accelerate better to take advantage in the remaining two overs of the powerplay. Meanwhile, Shafali Verma has been handed the ball for the next over. 

Five runs off the third over. Kranti Gaud looks in fine form. If only Pratika had caught that one. Pakistan are currently 16/0 after three overs. Very good performance from India in the powerplay. 

Pratika Rawal dropped a sitter of Muneeba Ali. She had all the time in the world to grab that one, but it didn't quite land well in her fingers. Harmanpreet appreciated the effort, though. Can Muneeba can take advantage of the moment?

Another good over for India. Only seven runs off it, which India will take with open hands in the powerplay. Meanwhile, the over ended with a boundary as Pakistan are now 11/0 after two overs. Kranti Gaud will continue with her second over. 

A fantastic start for India. Pakistan scored only four runs in the first over. That too after a fielding miss. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will hope to keep up with the momentum. Nandani Sharma has been handed the second over, in the meantime. 

Muneeba Ali and Shawaak Zulfiqar open the batting for Pakistan. India captain Harmanpreet Kaur has handed the new ball to Krati Gaud. Let the match begin!

It's time for the national anthems. Pakistan will sing first, followed by India. The match will begin right after that. 

Barring Smriti Mandhana, who scored 124 runs against Hong Kong, China in the previous match and Shafali Verma, who scored a half-century in India's opening match against Thailand, all the other batters have struggled to make an impact. That needs to change against Pakistan for India to register a comfortable win.

"[Happy to be chasing today?] Definitely. Our bowling is doing great in this tournament and good getting the opportunity to bowl first. [How challenging is chasing?] I think while batting it's always about giving ourselves some time and then going for your shots. And I think the first two games we did really well in that department and hopefully we'll continue. [On leading for the 150th time in T20Is] Great achievement. But the key is keep enjoying yourself on the field and that is a key, I try to keep up with that," Harmanpreet said.

Muneeba Ali (wk), Shawaal Zulfiqar, Gull Feroza, Ayesha Zafar, Sadaf Shamas, Fatima Sana (c), Umm-e-Hani, Eyman Fatima, Tuba Hassan, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal

Pakistan have won the toss and elected to bat first. Fatima Sana says they 'want to put up maximum total' and restrict the Indian side in the second innings. 

Both Harmanpreet Kaur and Fatima Sana have reached the centre stage for the high-voltage toss at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Both teams might look to bat first after winning the toss. The surface in Dubai has shown signs of slowing down in the second half of the game and that is one area both teams would want to exploit. Spinners are likely to enjoy more time in the middle.

India will arrive at the contest as the favourites. However, their batting unit has disappointed so far in the competition. Pakistan could have capitalised on that, but their own batting show has been very subpar. Against Thailand, the side could manage only 119 runs after Muneeba Ali scored a half-century. Against a quality bowling unit of India, the team needs to pull up their socks and produce a better showing. 

India's Harmanpreet Kaur is set to become the first captain ever to lead in 150 T20Is. No one has achieved the feat in men's T20Is either. A special milestone for the cricketer, but all eyes will be on her batting show tonight. The veteran has been very quiet so far in the Asia Cup. 

Star India opener Smriti Mandhana broke two world records in the previous clash against Hong Kong, China. She is currently the leading run-scorer in women's international and also the women's cricketer with the most international centuries. She is now 78 runs away from becoming the leading run-scorer in women's T20Is. 

India have enjoyed a clear edge over Pakistan in Women’s T20Is, winning 14 of their 17 meetings since the rivalry began in 2009. They have also won their last four encounters, with their most recent victory coming in the 2022 Asia Cup. India’s dominance is even more pronounced in the Women’s T20 Asia Cup, where they hold a commanding 6-1 record against Pakistan.

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the blockbuster Asia Cup 2026 clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan from Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Both teams have reached the venue and are currently engaging in light drills. The toss is only a few minutes away.
