    24 balls between boundaries for Pakistan but finally they have another one.

  2. Pak 72-3

    Target 171

    A much-needed boundary for Pakistan, as Muneeba Ali sweeps firmly for four.

    But at the halfway stage, India are on top.

  3. Not out

    The dive saves Muneeba. It was a sharp throw in from Harmanpreet Kaur but Richa Ghosh was a little slow to whip off the bails.

  4. Umpire review

    Run out?

    India are convinced.

    This could turn into a victory lap for India now.

  6. Pak 62-3

    Target 171

    Another metronomic over from Deepti Sharma.

    Pakistan's batters have looked clueless against her and she has figures of 2-8 from three overs.

  7. Not out

    Umpire's call!

    Agonisingly close for Deepti Sharma, who can only laugh in response.

  8. Ind review

    Has Deepti Sharma got her third? Natalia Parvaiz misses a sweep and is pinned in front but the umpire isn't convinced.

    Pakistan looked in a good position in the powerplay but now they are wobbling.

  10. Pak 59-3

    Target 171

    Muneeba Ali has 29 from 26 balls and is holding things together for Pakistan at the moment. They don't possess batting depth like India, so they'll be relying heavily on her.

    WICKET

    Saira c Harmanpreet b Charani 2 (Pak 58-3)

    Another! India's spinners are causing all sorts of problems for Pakistan.

    It's a soft dismissal for Saira Jabeen, getting a leading edge straight to cover as she tries to play against the turn of Sree Charani's left-armers.

  12. How's stat?!

    In her relatively short career for Pakistan (seven matches), Saira Jabeen has been explosive - and is one of only two batters to have a career boundary percentage above 20%. The other is Eyman Fatima.

    Pakistan have picked Saira Jabeen because they think she is player who can hit big.

  14. Pak 55-2

    Target 171

    Saira Jabeen joins Muneeba Ali in the middle.

    Pakistan are still holding back their captain, Fatima Sana.

  15. Firdose Moonda

    Deepti Sharma just makes things happen.

    Pakistan are just picking out the fielders. I think it's because Deepti gives so little away, she makes magic.

    WICKET

    Ayesha c Smriti b Deepti 12 (Pak 53-2)

    Deepti Sharma strikes again!

    Another sweep, another wicket. Ayesha Zafar picks out Smriti Mandhana at short fine leg, who dives forward foir a well-judged catch.

    Pakistan's batters are struggling to score off Deepti, and she's getting the rewards for the pressure that's built.

  17. How's stat?!

    MuneebaGetty Images

    Muneeba Ali and Ayesha Zafar are the only two Pakistan batters to score T20I centuries - it really is all on them.

  18. Pak 52-1

    Target 171

    Again, the seamers continue to leak runs in the powerplay.

    New batter Ayesha Zafar gets her first boundary by whipping the ball just over mid-wicket, before slashing another behind point.

    It's been a productive powerplay for Pakistan despite the wicket of Gull Feroza. India were 38-2 at the same stage.

  19. Pak 39-1

    Target 171

    Deepti Sharma is so valuable for India in the big moments. A wicket and just two runs from her first over.

  20. Firdose Moonda
    Cricinfo's South Africa correspondent on Test Match Special

    That's just pressure and the magic of Deepti Sharma. They haven't got a lot of runs off this over, it's a terrible shot.

    She'll be furious with herself for that.
