Pooja Vastrakar struck as early as in the second over of Pakistan's innings when India met in a high-voltage Women's Asia Cup 2024 contest in Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla.
Gull Feroza was the person who lost her wicket, as India captain Harmanpreet Kaur took a sharp catch in a reverse cup style to end her stay for a run-a-ball 5.
It was a short delivery by Vastrakar, which Feroza tried to pull. The Pakistan's opener could only get a huge top-edge, as she played the shot too early. Placed at mid-on, Harmanpreet made no mistake, and thus, India got their first wicket of the innings.
