'We talk about being ruthless, so very happy' - Harmanpreet Kaur lauds her players after demolishing Pakistan in Women's Asia Cup 2026

Harmanpreet's India Ruthlessly Bundle Pakistan Out for 55 in Women's Asia Cup Thrasher

What a dismantling at Dubai on Sep 5. India's bowlers read the fresh wicket perfectly and Pakistan never got going — bundled out for 55, their lowest-ever T20I total. India chased it down in 8.4 overs, winning by 7 wkts with room to spare.

The captain said it best: "We talk about being ruthless, so very happy." That's the mindset that separates contenders from champions. Every bwl stuck to the plan, no loose deliveries, no second chances handed out.

The numbers don't lie:

- Sree Charani: 3/7 — absolute pro

- Prema Rawat: 3/9 — equally deadly

- Deepti Sharma: 2/5 — controlled the middle overs

Three wickets each for Charani and Rawat is exactly the kind of precision you want when hunting a series.

Personal milestone for the skipper: Harmanpreet became the first cricketer, male or female, to captain 150 T20Is. 86 wins as captain before this landmark — and she's still hungry. That's leadership.

Pakistan's Fatima Sana (3 bwl in the match) admitted the collapse was brutal, but you can't make excuses on a fresh pitch. India's already booked their semis after shipping Thailand and HKC earlier, and they'll close out the group stage before the first semis on Sep 10.

Standards stayed sky-high. That's the benchmark now. 🎯
