India Women vs UAE Women Live Updates: India have tightened the noose as the required run rate has shot up for UAE in the ongoing Asia Cup match between the sides on Tuesday. UAE, who are chasing 179 runs, are three down as Rajeshwari Gayakwad struck twice, while there was one run-out. India themselves had got off to a horror start with the bat as they lost three early wickets, but a 128-run partnership between Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma took them to a strong total of 178 for 5 against UAE in the Women’s Asia Cup.
Rodrigues finished unbeaten on 75 off 45 deliveries, while Deepti made 64 off 49. Pooja Vastrakar and KP Navgire also struck some meaty blows at the death to help India post a strong total. Earlier, India opted to bat and experimented with their batting line-up, with stand-in captain Smriti Mandhana not coming out to the middle at all. Richa Ghosh was sent to open alongside Sabbhineni Meghana in the absence of Shafali Verma, who was rested along with regular captain Harmanpreet Kaur, but she fell for a golden duck. Meghana, who scored a half-century on Monday against Malaysia, also fell cheaply before Dayalan Hemalatha’s run-out left India three down early. However, Jemimah and Deepti batted brilliantly to ensure the early collapse did not stop India from posting a strong total. (LIVE SCORECARD)
