India all-rounder Deepti Sharma picked up the ultimate wicket to finish an excellent five-wicket haul because the Women in Blue defeated Pakistan by 64 runs in Match 6 of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Sunday, June 14. The decisive moment got here on the last ball of the seventeenth over when Deepti delivered a full ball from across the wicket.
Nashra Sandhu attempted a sweep shot but did not get proper elevation, eventually hitting the ball straight to Harmanpreet Kaur at short mid-wicket, giving Deepti her fifth wicket of the match. Watch the winning moment below:

While chasing 171, opener Muneeba Ali fought hard with a 41-run innings off 35 balls, however the remaining Pakistan batters struggled to make an impact against India’s disciplined bowling attack because the team was dismissed for 106 in 17 overs, losing their opening match of the tournament.
Deepti Sharma starred with the ball for India, producing her career-best T20I figures of 5/10 in 4 overs. Shree Charani also played a key role with a formidable spell of three/21 from her 4 overs. Listed here are some twitter reactions:

For me it was Smriti Mandhana who managed to get India play those crucial middle overs where Pakistan bowled beautifully.
Smriti is the actual MOM for today’s game vs Pak as their batting is already fucked.
They may piss 10 times chasing this mammoth 170. pic.twitter.com/xrX6Pxbtwu— SAHILTACION (@sahilisdamn) June 14, 2026
Smriti Mandhana Stars With Record thirty fourth T20I Fifty for India
After selecting to bat first, India suffered early setbacks with Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues departing cheaply throughout the powerplay against Pakistan’s disciplined bowling attack. Vice-captain Smriti Mandhana and captain Harmanpreet Kaur then rebuilt the innings with an important 91-run partnership for the third wicket.
Mandhana brought up her thirty fourth T20I half-century and finished as India’s top scorer with 68 off 44 balls, hitting nine fours and two sixes. Harmanpreet contributed 36 from 35 deliveries, while Richa Ghosh added a quickfire 34 off 17 balls, including five fours and a six, helping India post 170/6 in 20 overs.
