Commonwealth Games: 'Phenomenal effort', Twitter celebrates India's dominant eight-wicket win over Pakistan
India women's team clinched a thumping win against Pakistan after beating the arch rivals by 8 wickets in a rain-curtailed match that was reduced to 18 overs per side at Edgbaston on Sunday. Opting to bat, Pakistan lost an early wicket as Iram Javed departed for zero. But Muneeba Ali and captain Maroof then steadied the ship for the side before Sneh Rana scalped the wickets of the two batters in the same over.

Muneeba's dismissal was followed by a flurry of wickets as Pakistan were left tottering at 96/6 before eventually getting bundled out for 99.
