That brings us to the end of our coverage of the Sunday blockbuster between India and Pakistan at the Bay Oval, an encounter that turned out to be a one-sided encounter with the 'Women in Blue' bossing their way to a 107-run win, beginning their campaign in style and jumping to the top of the table ahead of South Africa with a solid Net Run Rate (2.140). Pakistan, meanwhile, are on the backfoot from the word go, and will need to brush the heavy defeat off and start on a fresh note when they take on powerhouses Australia in two days' time. India, meanwhile, have a four-day break and face hosts New Zealand four days from now.

Mithali Raj: I’m relieved we won the first game, but there are a few things we need to work on. When you lose wickets in the middle order, it does put pressure. But very valuable partnership between Pooja and Sneha got us back on board. When you have all-rounders, you want to use them not just in one department, and that’s what we got to see today. We have a couple of days, and I’m sure she’ll definitely recover.
13:29 (IST)
Bismah Maroof: I think we bowled well in the game, but ended up bowling a few loose deliveries. Pooja and Sneha played very well. Credit to them. Our batting has to improve.
13:23 (IST)
Gayakwad's in some form at the moment!
Rajeshwari Gayakwad becomes the first Indian spinner to take multiple 4+ wicket hauls in Women's World Cup.

13:21 (IST)
Pooja Vastrakar is the Player of the Match for her 67!
Vastrakar: Very happy with my performance. This is my first Player of the Match. Just wanted to build an innings and get India to the 200-mark. I like batting in such pressure situations. Face similar situations in domestic cricket. Had a chat with Sneh Rana, we wanted to guide India to a respectable total. We were told the wicket was a bit slow, not to think about 240-250 and guide India past 200 first. Physio told me I should be fine by the next game.
13:19 (IST)
After 43 overs,India Women 188/6 ( Sneh Rana 31 , Pooja Vastrakar 40)
Meghna keeps Diana quiet in this over, the latter looking to hit everything out of the park with not much left to play for at the moment. Diana does connect in the final delivery, but ends up hitting straight down long on’s throat to depart for 24, signalling the end of what turned out to be a one-sided contest between the two South Asian neighbours.
India maintain their 100 per cent record against Pakistan in ODIs, notching up their 11th win in a row against the Women in Green.
13:17 (IST)
OUT! Meghna Singh collects the final wicket as Diana Baig holes out to the fielder at long on while looking for another big hit. With that, India begin their World Cup campaign in style with a comprehensive 107-run victory, bundling Pakistan out for 137 after setting them 245 to win.
Baig c Kaur b Singh 24(35)
13:11 (IST)
After 42 overs,Pakistan Women 137/9 ( Diana Baig 24 , Anam Amin 5)
FOUR! Baig takes a couple of steps down the track and slaps a length ball from Goswami down the ground to move into the 20s with a boundary. She heaves the ball through midwicket for a single in the penultimate ball. Dot to end the over, with Goswami signing off with 2/26 at the end of her quota.
13:07 (IST)
After 41 overs,Pakistan Women 132/9 ( Diana Baig 19 , Anam Amin 5)
Baig and Amin continue to score freely, with five coming off Rana’s penultimate over. Every run scored from here on could come in handy for Pakistan on the longer run keeping the net run rate in mind.
13:04 (IST)
After 40 overs,Pakistan Women 127/9 ( Diana Baig 17 , Anam Amin 2)
Goswami returns for one final burst. Last-wicket pair Baig and Anam Amin, meanwhile, keep the scoreboard ticking through singles, five of which are collected in this over.
13:03 (IST)
After 39 overs,Pakistan Women 122/9 ( Diana Baig 14 , Anam Amin 0)
Diana Baig, just having some fun right now with a Pakistani victory pretty much out of the equation at the moment, goes for a wild slog in the fourth delivery, the ball landing well out of the fielder’s reach at wide long on, allowing Baig to collect a single. Pakistan need 123 to win with one wicket in hand.
12:58 (IST)
After 38 overs,Pakistan Women 121/9 ( Diana Baig 13 , Anam Amin 0)
Gayakwad misses out on a five-for, with seven coming off her final over as she signs off with impressive figures of 4/31 at the end of her 10-over quota that broke the back of the Pakistani batting order. Pakistan need 124 to win with one wicket in hand.
12:57 (IST)
After 37 overs,Pakistan Women 114/9 ( Diana Baig 6 , Anam Amin 0)
Just a run and a wicket from Rana’s seventh over, leaving India needing just one more wicket to complete a comprehensive victory over Pakistan.
12:56 (IST)
OUT! Another outstanding effort by Richa Ghosh as he races forward and completes a fine diving catch after a bat-pad deflection that results in Nashra Sandhu's dismissal for a five-ball duck. PAK 114/9
Sandhu c Ghosh b Rana 0(5)
12:52 (IST)
After 36 overs,Pakistan Women 113/8 ( Diana Baig 5 , Nashra Sandhu 0)
FOUR! Nawaz cuts the ball hard behind square at the start of Gayakwad’s penultimate over, and there’s no preventing the boundary on this occasion. Another successful LBW appeal by Gayakwad, this time removing the keeper batter Nawaz for 12. Four runs and a wicket from Gayakwad’s ninth.
12:50 (IST)
OUT! Gayakwad gets her fourth wicket by trapping Nawaz leg-before for 12. No reviews left for Pakistan, and Nawaz has to make her way back to the dug out now. PAK 113/8
Nawaz LBW Gayakwad 12(19)
12:46 (IST)
After 35 overs,Pakistan Women 109/7 ( Sidra Nawaz (W) 8 , Diana Baig 5)
Five runs added to the Pakistani total in this over including a treble in the penultimate delivery after a slog-sweep by Diana Baig. Substitute fielder Renuka gives the ball a spirited chase, and ends up saving a solitary run by pulling the ball back inside in the nick of time.
12:44 (IST)
After 34 overs,Pakistan Women 104/7 ( Sidra Nawaz (W) 4 , Diana Baig 5)
Gayakwad strikes for a third time today, trapping Sana LBW for 17 at the start of her eighth over, the all-rounder burning a review on her way to the dressing room. Diana Baig walks in next, and starts off on a positive note with back-to-back doubles, guiding Pakistan past the 100-mark in the process. Six runs and a wicket from the over.
12:38 (IST)
OUT! Gayakwad successfully appeals for leg-before after Sana misses while looking for an on-drive. The left-arm spinner got the ball to straighten along the leg stump, hitting Sana on the pad in front of the stumps, with HawkEye getting three reds. Pakistan lose their seventh wicket with less than 100 on board. PAK 98/7
Sana LBW Gayakwad 17(35)

12:34 (IST)
After 32 overs,Pakistan Women 96/6 ( Fatima Sana 16 , Sidra Nawaz (W) 2)
Gayakwad continues to keep things tidy from her end, conceding just two singles. She has been the most economical of the Indian bowlers so far along with Jhulan Goswami, the two conceding at two an over.
12:31 (IST)
After 31 overs,Pakistan Women 94/6 ( Fatima Sana 15 , Sidra Nawaz (W) 1)
Meghna Singh returns, replacing Deepti Sharma. FOUR! A welcome boundary for the Pakistanis as Fatima Sana flicks one off her pad towards the long leg region. Three singles collected off the remaining five balls.
12:26 (IST)
After 30 overs,Pakistan Women 87/6 ( Fatima Sana 9 , )
Appeal for stumping in the first delivery is taken upstairs. Richa was quick to whip the bails off, but Sana was quicker in grounding her backfoot. Gayakwad’s getting plenty of turn in this over, beating Sana thrice in as many balls at the start of her sixth over. Sana gets a thick inside edge off a delivery that angles into the batter instead of away, collecting a streaky single, before Riaz becomes Gayakwad’s second victim of the day after a swing and a miss, with Ghosh whipping the bails off in a flash to effect her fourth dismissal of the day.
12:24 (IST)
OUT! Ghosh has been outstanding behind the stumps so far today, whipping the bails off in a flash after Riaz skips down the track and misses after an ambitious swing of her bat, as Pakistan lose their sixth wicket. Time for the players to have a drink. PAK 87/6
Riaz st Ghosh b Gayakwad 11(23)
12:19 (IST)
After 29 overs,Pakistan Women 86/5 ( Aliya Riaz 11 , Fatima Sana 8)

12:16 (IST)
After 28 overs,Pakistan Women 85/5 ( Aliya Riaz 11 , Fatima Sana 7)
Riaz and Sana collect a single each as Gayakwad replaces Goswami, the latter getting a break after an eventful spell in which she collected two wickets. Excellent stop by Deepti at point in the final delivery to prevent Riaz from setting off for a run. The fielding at the point region has been superb today — whether Diana Baig for Pakistan or Deepti for India.
12:13 (IST)
After 27 overs,Pakistan Women 83/5 ( Aliya Riaz 10 , Fatima Sana 6)
Deepti Sharma replaces Sneh Rana. Single off each of the first two balls, before Sana works the ball behind square for a brace off the third. Four off the over.

12:07 (IST)
After 25 overs,Pakistan Women 78/5 ( Aliya Riaz 9 , Fatima Sana 2)
Riaz continues her positive approach, collecting a brace off the second delivery before returning for a third two balls later after working the ball towards fine leg. Fatima Sana keeps the strike with a single off the last delivery. Pakistan still shaky at the halfway stage, needing 167 more to win from 150 balls with five wickets in hand.
12:04 (IST)
After 24 overs,Pakistan Women 72/5 ( Aliya Riaz 4 , Fatima Sana 1)
Goswami collects a second wicket in as many overs, this one also a caught-behind dismissal as Nida Dar departs for 4(10). New batter Fatima Sana, meanwhile, gets off the mark right away with a single. Two runs and a wicket from the over.
12:02 (IST)
OUT! Another caught-behind dismissal for Jhulan in her second spell, this one nearly identical to Sidra Ameen's dismissal. Dar attempts to cut the delivery that rises higher than what she had initially expected, getting the outside edge. Pakistan have lost half their side now with just 70 on board. PAK 70/5
Dar c Ghosh b Goswami 4(10)
11:57 (IST)
After 23 overs,Pakistan Women 70/4 ( Nida Dar 4 , Aliya Riaz 3)
Tidy third over from Sneh Rana, with just two coming off it as Riaz collects a brace off the third delivery.
11:56 (IST)
After 22 overs,Pakistan Women 68/4 ( Nida Dar 4 , Aliya Riaz 1)
Jhulan Goswami returns for another spell, and she strikes right away, as Sidra Ameen’s patient stay comes to an end with an outside edge in the second delivery that results in a sitter for keeper Richa Ghosh. Aliya Riaz is the new batter at the crease, and gets off the mark with a single in the fourth delivery. Pakistan in deep trouble after losing their set opener. Big task ahead for Dar and Riaz.
11:50 (IST)
OUT! Jhulan Goswami returns to the attack and strikes right away, and it's a body blow to Pakistan as they lose the set batter in Sidra Ameen, who departs after a patient 30. Looks to steer this through point, but ends up nicking it to the keeper. PAK 67/4

11:48 (IST)
After 21 overs,Pakistan Women 67/3 ( Sidra Ameen 30 , Nida Dar 4)

Sidra Ameen and new batter Nida Dar keep the scoreboard ticking, with four singles coming off Deepti Sharma’s fifth over. Pakistan need another 180 to win from 30 overs at six-an-over, with seven wickets in hand.
11:44 (IST)
After 19 overs,Pakistan Women 60/3 ( Sidra Ameen 27 , Nida Dar 1)
One wicket leads to another as Sneh Rana strikes in her first over, Omaima Sohail departing after getting off to a confident start. Four runs and a wicket from the over, with the Indian spinners starting to exert pressure on the Pakistani batters.
11:41 (IST)
OUT! One wicket leads to another, as Sneh Rana strikes in her first over; Sohail ends up getting a nick while looking to steer the ball square, and Deepti was quick to react at the lone slip position. PAK 58/3
Sohail c Sharma b Rana 5(4)
11:39 (IST)
After 18 overs,Pakistan Women 56/2 ( Sidra Ameen 26 , Omaima Sohail 3)
Single off each of the first two balls, before Maroof brings up the team fifty with a crisp cut behind point. Maroof, though, departs the very next ball as Richa Ghosh pulls off a superb, low catch behind the stumps after an under edge off her bat. New batter Omaima Sohail is off the mark with three off the last ball. Nine runs and a wicket from Deepti’s fourth over.
11:35 (IST)
OUT! Maroof departs right after bringing up the team fifty with a boundary, getting an under-edge while attempting a sweep. Excellent low catch by Richa Ghosh behind the stumps; she knew right away and the confidence in her appeal suggested the same. Another wicket falls to spin. PAK 53/2
Maroof c Ghosh b Deepti 15(25)
11:33 (IST)
After 17 overs,Pakistan Women 47/1 ( Sidra Ameen 25 , Bismah Maroof (C) 10)

After 16 overs,Pakistan Women 45/1 ( Sidra Ameen 24 , Bismah Maroof (C) 9)
Just two from the over, with Maroof and Ameen collecting a single each. Time for the players to have a drink now. Ameen’s fairly well set at the moment, collecting 24 from 49. Pakistan need exactly 200 to win from 34 overs.
11:25 (IST)
After 15 overs,Pakistan Women 43/1 ( Sidra Ameen 23 , Bismah Maroof (C) 8)
Another tidy over from Gayakwad, restricting the second-wicket pair to singles with three coming off her third over.

India vs Pakistan, Women's Cricket World Cup 2022 LIVE Score and Updates: Meghna keeps Diana quiet in this over, the latter looking to hit everything out of the park with not much left to play for at the moment. Diana does connect in the final delivery, but ends up hitting straight down long on’s throat to depart for 24, signalling the end of what turned out to be a one-sided contest between the two South Asian neighbours. India maintain their 100 per cent record against Pakistan in ODIs, notching up their 11th win in a row against the Women in Green.
Preview: India will begin their ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2022 campaign on Sunday with a high-octane clash against arch-rivals Pakistan.
India have been runners-up on two occasions — in 2005 and 2017 — and are aiming to go one better this time. This will be the last World Cup for cricket greats Jhulan Goswami and Mithali Raj, and that should serve as an extra motivation for the Women In Blue to get their hands on the world title.
An India-Pakistan clash always attracts a lot of attention but both the captains played down the hype around the game and said their focus would be to start their campaigns on a good note.
“I think as a team we are excited to get into the World Cup and starting our campaign tomorrow. It's the first game, we are not looking at it as it’s Pakistan we are playing against, we're looking at a team which has come prepared and we are equally prepared to put our best foot forward and we want to set a momentum going into the tournament, so that's how we look at our first game," India captain Mithali said ahead of the match.
“Every time we play a World Cup, every game is very different - different locations, different conditions, different opponent.
“We've tried to give everybody a go in the warm-up game, so that everybody gets into the rhythm, they form the core players - and for tomorrow's game I think all of them have been watching the first opening game and everybody has their set plans.”
Even as India go in as favourites, Pakistan skipper Bismah Maroof is hoping to put up a good show.
“We haven’t lived up to the mark yet - we have spoken about that, we haven’t scored much as the top order should, and we are hoping that in this World Cup as a batting unit, we can put up a good show,” she said.
“We have improved as a fast-bowling unit, especially Diana [Baig] and Fatima Sana have come far and I think we have gelled together. It's just that we have the right combination in our bowling that all the bowlers complement each other and it's just the batting.
“We're looking forward that if we can put up a good show in the batting, our bowling can do well.”
