In a significant match during the Women's T20 World Cup 2024, India managed to secure a six-wicket victory over Pakistan. The outcome of the game was largely influenced by Pakistan's underwhelming batting performance, as acknowledged by their captain, Fatima Sana, who suggested the team was 10-15 runs short of a competitive total.

Pakistan, after winning the toss, opted to bat first. Despite a promising start, only Nida Dar and Muneeba Ali made notable contributions with their bats. India's bowling line-up, spearheaded by Arundhati Reddy, was instrumental in restricting Pakistan to 105/8 by the end of the first innings.

Arundhati Reddy's exceptional bowling, yielding three vital wickets, earned her the Player of the Match accolade. During India's chase, critical performances from Shafali Verma and Harmanpreet Kaur guided India past the finish line, even as Kaur had to exit the field due to an injury.
