ICC Women's T20 World Cup: India's semi-final chances stay afloat after narrow win against Pakistan

NEW DELHI: Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur's experience helped secure a six-wicket victory for India against Pakistan in the Women's T20 World Cup, keeping their semi-final hopes alive on Sunday.

She retired hurt with two runs needed to win, and Sajana Sajeevan, on her debut, sealed the victory with a boundary.

Opener Shafali Verma (32 off 35 balls) and No. 3 Jemimah Rodrigues (23 off 28 balls) adopted a cautious approach, affecting India's Net Run Rate (NRR) negatively.
