India claim seven-wicket win after Pakistan lose 10 wickets for just 28 runs as they are bowled out for 55.

India produced a dominant display to defeat Pakistan by seven wickets in the Women’s T20 Asia Cup in Dubai, bowling their rivals out for their lowest total in the format before rattling off their target inside nine overs.

Pakistan, having won the toss and elected to bat at the Dubai International Stadium on Saturday, made a promising start but collapsed spectacularly after an opening partnership of 27.

India eventually dismissed them for just 55 in 18.1 overs, with their spinners responsible for much of the damage.

Shree Charani and Prema Rawat were the stars of the bowling attack, taking three wickets apiece. Charani finished with remarkable figures of 3 for 7 from four overs, while Rawat returned 3 for 9. Deepti Sharma added two wickets for only five runs.

Pakistan’s innings initially appeared under control. Muneeba Ali made 13, and Shawaal Zulfiqar scored 14 for the first wicket.

But Shafali Verma broke the partnership by bowling Muneeba, and Charani then struck twice in the sixth over. She dismissed Gull Feroza for a duck before removing Zulfiqar, leaving Pakistan 29 for three.

The collapse continued almost immediately as Pakistan slipped to 32 for four in the eighth over before Rawat and Deepti Sharma intensified the pressure. By the 13th over, Pakistan were 45 for seven, and there was no prospect of recovering to a competitive total.

The final three wickets eventually fell with Pakistan on 55, giving India an exceptionally modest target. The total was Pakistan’s lowest in women’s T20I cricket, surpassing their previous low of 63 against India in the 2012 Women’s Twenty20 Asia Cup.

India survive brief wobble

Despite requiring only 56, India did not have everything their own way at the start of the chase.

Pakistan’s bowlers claimed three wickets, giving their opponents a brief glimpse of an unlikely route back into the contest. Fatima Sana was Pakistan’s most successful bowler, finishing with 3 for 17.

The target, however, was simply too small. India reached 57 for three in 8.4 overs, completing a seven-wicket victory with Harmanpreet Kaur unbeaten on 18. The Indian captain ensured there was no late drama and guided her side across the line with plenty of deliveries to spare.

The victory maintained India’s perfect start to the tournament. They now have six points from three matches and have already secured their place in the semifinals.

For Pakistan, meanwhile, the defeat leaves their qualification hopes dependent on their final group match against Hong Kong. They remain on two points and need a victory to give themselves a chance of progressing.

SYDNEY Sweeney has shown off her bra from her new Syrn line to commemorate its release.

The Euphoria star celebrated “launch day” with a clip of herself wearing several articles from her new Campus Crush collection.

In the video posted on Syrn’s official Instagram page on Wednesday, Sydney, 28, briefly flashed her chest in a white Plot Twist Bralette while changing in her trailer.

She filmed herself putting on a white Victory Lap Baby Tee, paired with navy blue Booty Call Knit Boxers.

Sydney tousled her long blonde hair in loose waves while posing and smiling at the camera.

“IT’S LAUNCH DAY. Shop the new Campus Crush collection now,” the post’s caption read, while noting each piece of her new wardrobe.

The actress has debuted multiple new collections from her lingerie brand, Syrn, in recent months.

Earlier this month, The Housemaid star promoted the company’s new Romantic line, featuring various lace bras and underwear.

She also dropped a racy black lingerie set for her Seductress line, and an array of underwear, bras, and loungewear from her Playful collection, Small Town Girl.

Sydney enlisted model Amélie Tremblay to help her promote the new Playful pieces, sharing videos and photos of the pair modeling matching sets in the mirror.

The ladies also captured themselves having an impromptu dance session and Sydney playfully smacking Amélie’s butt multiple times.

Sydney shared similar posts early last month, showcasing her breasts, bare butt, and washboard abs in numerous pieces from the collection, which launched on July 16.

She had been pulling double duty, working on her Syrn brand, while in Australia filming a new project.

Her boyfriend, Scooter Braun, also joined her on set.

Fans were reminded of Sydney’s previous starring role in the erotic thriller The Voyeurs when the film landed on Amazon Prime in May.

The spine-chilling movie premiered in 2021, and involved some of Sydney’s raciest scenes, as she portrayed an optometrist who becomes dangerously obsessed with spying on her neighbors.

Sydney’s character, Piper, strips down completely naked in the film and gets intimate with her on-screen lover, among other raunchy moments.

The White Lotus star has since starred in many other promiscuous scenes in her following TV and film roles.

Her most talked-about role was playing Cassie Howard in HBO Max’s Euphoria.

The latest season showed Sydney wearing scandalous outfits, including dressing like a sexualized baby and a puppy, in an effort to increase Cassie’s OnlyFans following.

Sydney and the show’s creator, Sam Levinson, faced a slew of backlash for her X-rated behavior on camera; however, an insider exclusively told The U.S. Sun that the actress had “no shame” and “laughed” at the critics.
