ICC Women's World Cup: Bisht shines as India beat Pakistan by 95 runs to post third successive victory.
Women cricket teams of India and Pakistan have faced each other a record nine times in the past. On Sunday, India will meet their arch-rivals Pakistan in the Women's World Cup 2017 for their respective third fixture in the group stage.
Man-of-the-match Bisht returned with the figures of 5/18 in her quota of 10 overs that included two maidens
Chasing a paltry 170-run target, Pakistan women were bowled out for 74 in 38.1 overs
For India, Deepti Sharma (28) along with Punam Raut (47) forged a 76-run partnership for the second wicket.
An India vs Pakistan cricket match is always compelling. For one, they are arch-rivals. Second, both the teams come from cricket-crazy nations. On Sunday, women teams of both the countries will lock horns in their third World Cup fixture taking place in England.
Led by Mithali Raj, India won both their matches, beating England women by 35 runs on the opening day of the tournament and West Indies by 7 wickets on Thursday.
Pakistan, on the other hand, are winless in the tournament so far, losing the first to South Africa by 3 wickets and the second to hosts England by 107 runs. It is, hence, a crucial match, also considering the fact that their next match is against Australia, which will also be hard to win.
The two teams have met each other on nine occasions in the past in the ODI format. Interestingly, India have managed to beat them on all the nine times. Not just managed, India have defeated their arch-rivals by more than 100 runs in four matches.
Here are the nine matches between India women team and Pakistan women team:
