India's captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, did not shake hands with Pakistan's Fatima Sana during the toss and the teams walked off without greeting each other after the match amid political tensions."

Their openers, Pratika Rawal and the star batter Smriti Mandhana, shared 48 runs for the first wicket before Sana had Mandhana lbw for a 32-ball 23. Rawal made 31 before she was bowled by the left-arm spinner Sadia Iqbal. Kaur scored 19 before she was caught behind off Diana Baig. Harleen Deol top-scored for India with 46 and Richa Ghosh made a quick-fire 35 not out."
