Another shameful incident for Pakistan. This time, their women's cricket team lost wickets against the arch-rivals, the India Women's National Cricket Team, for only 56 runs in tonight's Women's Asia Cup match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
However, it might be surprising to know, but it is not the first time the Pakistan women's bowled out inside the 60-run mark. In 2024, in Dubai, the New Zealand Women's cricket team bundled the Women in Green for only 56 runs.
Pakistan Women register their lowest ever total in T20Is
In the history of the women's international T20 format, it is the second time that India has dismissed all of the wickets of the Pakistan cricket team for a paltry total. In 2012, India restricted Pakistan to only 63 runs.
Lowest all-out totals for Pakistan Women in T20Is:
55 vs India Women, Dubai, 2026
56 vs New Zealand Women's, Dubai, 2024
60 vs England Women's, Taunton, 2009
63 vs India Women's, Guangzhou, 2012
65 vs West Indies Women's, St Andrew's, 2011
72 vs Sri Lanka Women's, Colombo (NCC), 2018
A record as well for the India Women's cricket team in T20 Internationals
Bowling out Pakistan for only 55 runs, itself a record for the Indian women's cricket team as well in the shortest format for the game. Despite Pakistan's collapse, Malaysia Women's remains the worst-hit team in the format that bowled out for only 27 runs in 2018 during a match in Kuala Lumpur. Once, the Thailand Women's team wrapped up for only 37 runs. Bangladesh faced collapses on multiple occasions, while it is the first time the Women in Green went down inside 60 runs.

Tonight, the Fatima Sana-led team could not hold on to their ground against the spinners of the Indian cricket team. The Dubai International Cricket Stadium is mostly known for its spin-friendly tracks, which the spinners utilised most from it. Shree Charani and Prema Rawat took three wickets each in the match, and a brace was taken by Deepti Sharma. Shafali Verma also clinched a scalp.
