Harmanpreet Kaur hails Indian bowlers after big win over Pakistan

India Women secured a commanding win over Pakistan Women in the Women’s Asia Cup 2026 clash held on Saturday. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur praised India's bowlers for their disciplined lines and crucial breakthroughs that tilted the game in the hosts’ favor. She credited the seamers for making early inroads with the new ball and the spin attack for bowling tight overs in the middle, tightening the run-rate and building pressure on Pakistan's batsmen. The Indian attack applied steady pressure throughout, frequently striking at key moments to pick up wickets and prevent Pakistan from accelerating. In reply, India’s batsmen chased the target with comfort, aided by a steady partnership and sensible running between the wickets, but the emphasis, according to Kaur, remained on the bowlers' display that set up the win. The captain stressed that the victory reflected a collective effort, with fielding and the overall game plan backing the bowling performance. The result strengthens India's standing in the tournament and injects confidence ahead of upcoming fixtures. For Pakistan, the loss underscores the need to regroup and adjust ahead of remaining games. With this win, India remains well-placed in the group standings and sends a message to rivals ahead of the next fixtures.
