3.37pm That is a top bowling effort from India as they restrict Pakistan to 105 for 8. They were at it all the way, keeping the lines tight and not allowing easy runs. Renuka struck in her first over before Amin and Sohail fell cheaply. Muneeba Ali scored 17 but that came off 26 balls. Pakistan at one point felt would not even cross 100 but Nida Dar and some useful contributions from the lower-order got them past 100. For India to have their NRR in positive, they need to chase this down in 11.2 overs. Can they do it? Join Sudarshanan in a bit to find out.

Shreyanka Patil: Getting the first wicket at a World Cup is very special and against Pakistan was even more special. It is just amazing to be a part of this World Cup. Now I am in the middle and people are cheering for us, it is even more special. [Surface] I think it was pretty normal. We got some offer on this wicket. We picked up some crucial wickets in the powerplay that helped us. Aru [Reddy] bowled well and all the others were great. [Heat] I am going to have an ice tea after this. It is pretty hot and humid here. But we are well prepared for the heat. [Chase] We have done well as a bowling unit, now up to the batters to bring it home.

Reddy to Nida Dar, 1 run, Length on middle, she drags this to deep midwicket. They think about the second, but not to be

Reddy to bowl the last over. India have run out of time, which means they need to have an extra fielder inside the circle.
