After 14 overs,India Women 97/1 ( Mithali Raj 42 , Jemimah Rodrigues 15)

Five runs from the over. Two singles each for Mithali and Rodrigues and wide from Sana Mir. India need 45 in 42 balls.

The 10 over half-way stage is that the pitch is holding up well and not turning elaborately for the spinners. India’s batters despite loosing the wicket of Mandhana have had little to zero demons from pitch or special deliveries to negotiate. 

Pakistan’s bowlers haven’t looked threatening, even with their spinners not getting assistance from a Providence surface that they may have hoped would start deteriorating a bit in second innings

After 12 overs,India Women 84/1 ( Mithali Raj 38 , Jemimah Rodrigues 7)

Six runs from the over. Nida and Maroof have done well to restrict the boundaries and that has led the Indians to rely upon singles and doubles. India need 50 in 48 balls.

Four singles in the over. India need 56 runs in last nine overs.

After 10 overs,India Women 74/1 ( Mithali Raj 34 , Jemimah Rodrigues 1)

Seven runs from the over but India lose Mandhana as the solid 63-run opening stand comes to an end. Mandhana added a double and a four before getting out trying to pull Maroof. Jemimah Rodrigues got off the mark with a single on the last ball

OUT! Mandhana falls to Maroof trying to pull her as Omaimah Sohail takes a good running catch at deep square leg.

After 8 overs,India Women 63/0 ( Mithali Raj 32 , Smriti Mandhana 19)
