Breaking News: India Women cricket team hammer Malaysia by 142 runs
Kuala Lumpur, June 3 (CRICKETNMORE) - Opener Mithali Raj's unbeaten 97 followed by medium pacer Pooja Vastrakar's 3/6 helped India register a resounding 142-run victory over hosts Malaysia in a Women's T20 Asia Cup cricket tie at the Kinrara Academy Oval here on Sunday.
After putting 169 runs on the board, the Indian bowlers managed to bundle out the home team for just 27 runs as none of the Malaysian batswomen touched double digits. Opting to bat first, the women in blue began the proceedings on a shaky note, losing opener Smriti Mandhana (2) and Vastrakar (16) for just 35 runs in 6.1 overs. However, Mithali kept one end safe and forged a crucial 86-run partnership for the third wicket with skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (35 off 23 balls) to take her side past the 100-run mark. Harmanpreet fell in the 15th over with India's scorecard reading 121 runs. Later, Deepti Sharma chipped in with an unbeaten 18 runs to help India reach 169 runs.
