India-A Women vs Pakistan-A Women: Dinesh Vrinda Stars in Clinical 8-Wicket Victory

India-A Women vs Pakistan-A Women clash delivered a one-sided result as India’s women produced a dominant all-round display to register their first win of the ACC Women’s Asia Cup Rising Stars 2026, sealing an eight-wicket victory in Bangkok.

Put in to bat, Pakistan-A Women never settled into rhythm and kept losing key players early. They lost 5 wickets in powerplay and never recovered from this loss.

A couple of lower-order contributions briefly slowed the slide, but the scoreboard pressure remained constant. Smart spin use and quick infield movement ensured the batting unit was bowled out for 93 in 18.5 overs.

The chase in the India-A Women vs Pakistan-A Women encounter followed a completely different script. After losing one batter on the first ball, the response was immediate and aggressive. 

Dinesh Vrinda (55 off 29) took control with a boundary-heavy knock. Her unbeaten half-century came at high speed and removed any remaining doubt from the contest. She found steady support from Anushka Sharma, who rotated strike and prevented pressure from building at the other end.

A late cameo finished the match quickly as India-A Women crossed the target in just over ten overs, underlining the gap between the two sides on the day. Pakistan-A Women managed only brief moments of resistance with the ball, but the small total left little room to fight back.
