IND-W vs UAE-W, Women's Asia Cup 2022, Highlights: IND continue winning run, beat UAE by 104 runs

The Indian women's team has belted another contest to its name after a comprehensive victory over UAE. This is their third win and now they are on the top of the points table. A wonderful performance first by Deepti Sharma and Jemimah Rodrigues with the bat, and then the Indian bowling easily defended the target. Both Sharma and Rodrigues joined when India was in trouble, having lost three wickets inside the powerplay. But the duo stitched a partnership of 129 runs to help India post 178 in 20 overs. In the second innings, the Indian bowlers first scalped wickets and then dried up runs. In the end, it was a big win and boosted their net run rate hugely. India will next meet arch-rivals Pakistan on October 7 in their fourth match, which is likely to be a blockbuster. Till then this is Varun Malik signing off along with Jishu Bhattacharya. Take care.

The Indian team has kept the things under control in the contest. The bowlers have performed very well so far. Wickets at the start and then choked the runs. The team is now eyeing their third win of the ongoing Women's Asia Cup.

India has kept things very tight in the 10 overs. They have taken wickets and have also not given away runs in the first half. The UAE batters need to show some intent quickly to put a fight otherwise this will be a cakewalk.

The Indian women's team has got off to a flying start in bowling. Led by Rajeshwari Gayakwad, India women have scalped three wickets in the powerplay to put UAE in big trouble.

Not a very good start for India as UAE has sent both the Indian openers back in the first four overs. Both the opening bowlers- Chaya Mughal and Mahika Gaur struck as India lose two quick wickets. Meanwhile, it's Dayalan Hemalatha who came out to bat at No.4 along with Deepti Sharma.
