Follow highlights of IND vs UAE Women's Asia Cup match here.
The dominant Indian team is poised to further refine their tactics as they face off against the United Arab Emirates in the women's Asia Cup on Sunday. India's impressive performance in their recent seven-wicket victory over Pakistan showcased their superiority, leaving little doubt about their capabilities.
The UAE will undoubtedly face a formidable challenge in trying to thwart India's path to the semifinals. Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, the defending champions are in top form and will be looking to secure another victory.
With two points and a Net Run Rate of +2.29, India is in a strong position going into this crucial match. A win against the UAE would not only earn them four points but also improve their Net Run Rate, further solidifying their standing in the tournament.
What a missed opportunity for India! Kavisha tried to hit the ball to midwicket, but Deepti couldn't catch it and let it go for a boundary. Then finally, a run out happened when Kavisha couldn't make it to the keeper's end in time. Richa made an easy run out. And that's the end of the UAE innings.
INDW 201/5 (20)
UAEW 123/7 (20)
Khushi Sharma was caught by Mandhana after attempting to loft a short delivery on the off side. Unfortunately, she mistimed the shot and ended up miscuing it off the outside half of the bat, resulting in a catch at extra cover.
Kavisha elegantly strikes the ball towards third man, scoring a boundary with a powerful FOUR. The Indian pacer attempts a short ball, but Kavisha expertly pulls it towards fine leg for another boundary, securing yet another FOUR.
Oza starts off strong with a beautiful square cut, resulting in a boundary. This is followed by a dot ball and a single on the leg side. Theertha Satish, who had not scored in her first eight deliveries, finally gets off the mark with a well-executed shot along the ground for another boundary.
Richa is on a roll as she nears a half-century with a boundary. She reaches her first 50 in T20I with another well-placed shot towards point. Her momentum doesn't waver as she hits another boundary, this time towards the covers. Richa's skill is evident in her exquisite shot selection as she elegantly reverses her bat and sweeps the ball towards point for yet another boundary.
Harmanpreet was fortunate as the ball narrowly missed the stumps after catching the edge, allowing her to score a boundary towards fine leg. The India captain then showcased her skill by hitting another well-timed boundary in the same direction. The sound of the ball meeting the bat was truly delightful. Harmanpreet displayed her power by smashing a six over mid-wicket.
Richa expertly slices the ball towards square point, skillfully playing with the spin to send it past two fielders for a boundary. She follows up with another well-placed shot towards mid off, earning herself another four runs. The ball slows down in front of her, but she quickly turns and pulls it towards square leg for yet another boundary.
Harmanpreet expertly times her shot, finding the gap at deep mid-wicket between two fielders to score a boundary. The India skipper follows it up with a sweep shot, sending the ball racing towards square leg for another four runs.
Harmanpreet elegantly sweeps Kavisha for a boundary towards square leg, scoring a crucial four runs for India. The team's run rate has remained steady at over 8 runs per over, indicating a promising performance by the Women in Blue as they aim to set a competitive total.
Dharnidharka returns to the attack, conceding a boundary as the ball connects with Shafali's bat and races to fine leg for a four. The batter continues her momentum with another boundary, elegantly flicking the ball over mid wicket and towards the ropes for a well-executed four.
Smriti confidently strides down the pitch and expertly strikes the ball over the mid-off fielder, only to see it land in the hands of Rinitha for a catch. Unfortunately, the Indian batter is forced to make her way back to the pavilion after scoring just 13 runs off 9 balls.
India Women (Playing XI): Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Dayalan Hemalatha, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh(w), Deepti Sharma, Pooja Vastrakar, Radha Yadav, Renuka Thakur Singh, Tanuja Kanwar

Esha: We want to bowl first. It's a fresh wicket, we want to use that to our advantage and restrict them. It's important that you learn from the game before. There were quite a few errors in the field. Just want to stick to the basics. Same side.
Harmanpreet: We wanted to bat only, happy with that. We'll just go with the flow and see how we start. Shreyanka is not playing, she got injured in the last game. In place of her, Tanuja is playing.
