India women’s team settles 6-0 gesture with 12-0 vs Pakistan:Women in Blue register victory by 88 runs vs PAK; Kranti Goud claims POTM honour

First, let’s take a look at two defining India vs Pakistan cricket moments… First photo – It’s from September 21, when the Asia Cup Super-4 match was played between India and Pakistan. In this, Pakistan’s fast bowler Haris Rauf is teasing Indian fans by gesturing 6-0. Second photo – It’s from October 5, which BCCI posted after securing an 88-run victory over Pakistan. With this win, the Indian team has made its ODI match record against Pakistan 12-0. A special thing about this match, played at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, was that the Indian team defeated Pakistan for the fourth consecutive Sunday in cricket. Before this, on September 14, 21, and 28, Team India had defeated Pakistan in three consecutive matches in the Men’s Asia Cup. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first. The Indian team was all out for 247 runs in 50 overs. Harleen Deol scored the highest 46 runs. In response, the Pakistan team was bowled out for 159 runs in 43 overs. Sidra Amin scored 81 runs. From India, Kranti Gaur and Deepti Sharma took 3 wickets each. Sneh Rana got 2 wickets. Two controversies that highlighted IND vs PAK match First: India lost the toss due to match referee’s mistake It’s rare for an India-Pakistan match to happen without controversy. This match began with a controversy over the toss. India lost the toss due to a referee’s mistake during the toss. When Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur tossed the coin, Pakistani captain Fatima Sana called tails. The coin landed heads on the ground. South African match referee Shandre Fritz mistakenly heard Sana’s call as heads. She declared Pakistan the winner of the toss. Second: Indian captain did not shake hands with Pakistani captain After the toss, Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur did not shake hands with Pakistani captain Fatima Sana. Earlier, in the Men’s Asia Cup, India’s captain Suryakumar Yadav had not shaken hands with Pakistani captain Salman Agha. The Indian team had also refused to take the trophy from PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi. The team had to return without a trophy even after becoming champions. Here’s the match report in 3 points… 1. Player of the Match: Kranti Goud Young pacer Kranti Goud was chosen Player of the Match. She took 3 wickets for 20 runs. Kranti sent Sadaf Shamas (6 runs), Alia Riaz (2 runs) and Natalia Pervaiz (33 runs) back to the pavilion. 2. Match Winners Harleen Deol She came out to bat at number 3 after opener Smriti Mandhana (23 runs) was out with the team score at 48 runs. She made a 59-run partnership for the third wicket with Harmanpreet Kaur in the middle order off 39 balls. Then, after captain Harmanpreet Kaur (19 runs) was out, she made a 45-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Jemimah Rodrigues off 52 balls. This partnership took the score past 150. Deepti Sharma Took 3 wickets for 45 runs in 9 overs of bowling. Deepti’s accurate bowling put pressure on Pakistan in the middle overs. She dismissed captain Fatima Sana (2 runs) and Rameen Shamim (zero) to prevent a struggling Pakistan from recovering. Then, by dismissing Sadia Iqbal, she secured victory for India. Richa Ghosh Richa Ghosh, who came to bat at number 8, scored an unbeaten 35 runs off 20 balls, taking India to a fighting total. For Pakistan, Diana Baig took 4 wickets. Captain Fatima Sana and Sadia Iqbal got 2 wickets each. 3. Points Table What’s the 6-0 controversy about? During the India-Pakistan Super-4 match in the Asia Cup on September 21, Indian fans were taunting Rauf by chanting Virat Kohli’s name. Rauf got angry at this and gestured to shoot down planes flying in the sky. Actually, Pakistan claims that the Pakistani army shot down 6 Indian fighter planes in Operation Sindoor. However, this claim of theirs is considered baseless. BCCI had complained to the ICC about Rauf’s gesture.
