In the end, all the hype around this supposedly big game turned out to be rather hollow. Unlike in the case of men's cricket, the rivalry between India and Pakistan in the women's game is yet to offer excitement, purely because of the gulf in quality between the politically hostile neighbours.
Producing a clinical performance in all departments of what turned out to be a hopelessly one-sided game on Sunday at Edgbaston, India scored a thumping eight-wicket win over Pakistan to log their first points in the women's competition of the Commonwealth Games at Birmingham. India thus maintained their fine record of not having lost to Pakistan in any big game -be it the ICC events or the CWG clash here.
