India women’s team locked horns with Pakistan women’s team in the 13th match of the Women’s T20 Asia Cup 2022. Just a few backs, the men’s team of India played against the arch-rivals in a must-win encounter of the Asia Cup 2022. Eventually, Rohit Sharma & co lost the match and couldn’t make it to the finals of the tournament.
As the men in blue couldn’t perform up to the expectations of the Indian cricket fans so they were in a hope that Indian girls will get rid of this jinx. But unfortunately, things didn’t fall in place here as well.
Just within the next 24 hours after losing against Thailand, Pakistan stunned the Indian team in all the departments to register their first win in the period of the last six years.
Pakistani skipper Bismah Maroof won the toss and decided to bat first. Batting first, the Pak girls posted a total of 137 runs for the loss of six wickets in the allotted 20 overs. Nida Dar ended up being the top-scorer of the inning with an amazing unbeaten knock of 56 runs.
While chasing the target, the women in blue kept throwing wickets at short intervals and eventually got bundled up with a score of 124 runs.
After India’s defeat by a margin of 13 runs, Indian fans took to Twitter to go after the Indian cricket Board for not coming ahead with the responsibility in the major international tournaments.
Here's how fans reacted Indian women's team's defeat against Pakistan:

Indian cricket in tatters at the moment. The complacency is biting both the men's team and women's team really hard. And they are not learning.

Although, a good thing for the Indian women’s team, even after losing to Pakistan is that they are still at the top of the points table in the continental tournament.
Both India and Pakistan have played four matches each and they have three matches and lost only one game on the contrary.
India will lock horns against Bangladesh in the penultimate group-stage match just before facing Thailand on the 10th of October.
