The match resulted in India getting the 7th place in the World Cup with Pakistan coming last.
The Pakistani team had won the toss and elected to bat setting a target of 193 for the Indian team. Pakistan had lost seven wickets, while India lost only four before successfully chasing the target in 46 overs.
Nida Dar scored the highest for Pakistan with 68 runs off 100 balls and remained not out till the end of the innings. M Raj scored a century for India and also remained not out.
Pakistan were housed in the stadium after hotels showed reluctance to provide hospitality to the tourists amid threats from right-wing political parties in India. The decision drew heavy criticism, raising questions on the Indian cricket board’s ability to hold ICC events.

@mohsin: bravo to pak team for getting last position in their neighboring cuntry...lol..
I congratulate the girls! They are brave, they are not losers, they are winners, having played under extenuating circumstances and in a hostile environment! Imagine playing [and expected to play well] when fear of the unknown is tugging at your heart!
@Syed: Is that the reason no cricket is taking place in Pakistan, lack of security?
@Foolitics: " If Pakistan had been provided five star hotel accommodation they would have won the World Cup. :-)" ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ And if the accommodation was better than 5 Star then they would have even won the Men's World Cup.No Doubt.
If India can't provide proper security then really they shouldn't be holding such events. It's pathetic that the team was confined inside the stadium.
Anyone who thinks that the girls were living in tents on the ground should know that there is a 5 star clubhouse by the stadium and thats where they stayed. Even PCB has followed the same model and are building a clubhouse in islamabad stadium.
Anyways, well played ladies. hope you had a good time in india
@Foolitics: If aunty had mustaches she would be called uncle .
@polpot: If Pakistan had been provided five star hotel accommodation they would have won the World Cup. :-)
In india we do not build luxury hotels along stadium.And ICC is ruled by BCCI. Live with it.
bravo to team india for getting 7th position in their home country
@sree: india got knocked out aswell, so dont be too happy!!
@A2Z: You cannot expect win from a team which was worried about their security. The conditions under which they stayed in India was the main factor behind their poor performance. . You are absolutely right. The Good People Pakistan must take this oportunity to Convince and Force the Pakistani Government to Ban all Indian Sports to participate in Pakistani Sports as also "Kick India in the Face" by refusing to let Pakistani Sports Teams play in or agist any Indian Sports Teams. . Surely Indian Sports losing huge sums of Money by not playing with Pakistan will bring the Indians to their senses. . Cheers
Better luck next time girls :)
Does this news need to be headline in a newspaper!!! Even if Pakistan had won
Congratulations to India. Well done Pakistan. Don't blame Shiv Sena.

Another world cup cricket victory for team india against Pakistan. Well played gals.
Cricket is the most lucrative sport in India. BCCI has enough money to organize ICC events giving full security to all the teams. Not to worry about your ladies cricket team. They are being cared for well. They should have stayed in a hotel, but the place where they are staying is not too shabby either.
Pakistani women team could n't win a single match in this world cup and it was inevitable because instead of practicing for such an important tournament they were busy in visiting beauty parlors for makeovers and photo sessions.
A small example of two nations fighting for leftovers as the world zooms by.
Match was fixed
Brave girls, played under dismal conditions.
Its clear that the Pakistani team lost cause they were not provided 5 Star accommodation +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Indians play dirty.
Hope Shiv Sena or other right wing groups are not behind this.............
Standup for the champions
The fact that our women are playing at that level is a ' win, win ' situation, well done.
