I'm confident this is missing leg...

Shafali Verma is given lbw!
That looked like it was missing to me. The India opener sends it upstairs.

Yastika 15, Verma 6

Yastika Bhatia flicks one through mid-wicket and an excellent effort prevents four. No such joy for Pakistan later in the over as the ball bobbles into the boundary sponge.

Target 150
Image source, Getty ImagesIf anyone is going to be used to these South African surfaces you'd think it would be Shafali Verma. She has been in the country since the start of January, having led India to victory in the Under-19 World Cup.
It's Yastika Bhatia looking to take on the attack here, however.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialI've been really impressed by Pakistan. They were quick between the wickets and a couple drop catches from India probably gave Pakistan 15 or 20 more runs.

Target 150
Pakistan won the last T20 between these two sides but it would still be a bit of a shock were they to pull this off. India are one of the big favourites for the whole competition.
They are without their opener Smriti Mandhana today.

Well that's a good start! Yastika Bhatia gets a short ball from Fatima Sana and cracks a pull shot to the mid-wicket fence.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialIt is going to be a thrilling innings. Pakistan have done well in the first half, can they do well with the ball?

Target 150
Yastika Bhatia is going to face the first ball from Fatima Sana.
India have it all to do and, as good as Pakistan were, they did not help themselves in the field.

This is Pakistan's highest total in a Women's T20 World Cup AND their highest score against India.
On Friday, on this very pitch, a target of 130 proved to be too much for South Africa...

Bismah Maroof held that innings together brilliantly with a 55-ball 68 but for me the standout innings was Ayesha Naseem's 43 from 25.
It was a electric and has given Pakistan a real chance here.

The gauntlet has well and truly been thrown down to India. Can they chase down 150?
Here to guide you through their innings is Matthew Henry.

England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialAyesha came in and took all the pressure off of Bismah. It was a brilliant partnership and has really set the side up.
149 is going to be difficult to chase down.

Innings breakpublished at 20 overs
Pak 149-4
Bismah Maroof nudges a single off the penultimate ball to give Ayesha Naseem the final ball of the innings.
She goes for another explosive shot but cannot quite time it and Deepti Sharma can field off her own bowling for a dot.
Still, Ayesha ends unbeaten on 43 and Bismah Maroof 68 as Pakistan reach 149-4, setting India an even 150 to win.
