T20 ASIA CUP: INDIA WOMEN ROUT MALAYSIA FOR 27 IN BIG WIN

KUALA LUMPUR: As many as six Malaysia batsmen fell for duck as India bundled them out for just 27 to register a resounding 142-run victory in their opening Women’s Twenty20 Asia Cup match here today. Electing to bat, India scored 169 for 3 in their allotted 20 overs, riding on senior player Mithali Raj’s unbeaten 97 off 69 balls, and then shot the home side out in just 13.4 overs in a completely lop-sided match at Kinrara Academy Oval here.

India Women 169 for 3 in 20 overs (M Raj 97*, H Kaur 32); Malaysia Women 27 all out in 13.4 overs (S Azmi 9; P Vastrakar 3/6, P Yadav 2/0).
