India and Australia Secure T20 World Cup Wins

India's women's cricket team secured a vital six-wicket win over Pakistan in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, recovering from their earlier defeat to New Zealand. Pacer Arundhati Reddy's 3/19 performance and Shafali Verma's 32 runs helped India chase down Pakistan's 105/8 with seven balls to spare. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur contributed 29 runs before retiring hurt, and Sajeevan Sajana sealed the victory with a boundary. Meanwhile, Australia launched their title defense by defeating Sri Lanka by six wickets, thanks to Megan Schutt's 3/12 bowling figures and Beth Mooney's unbeaten 43 runs. Sri Lanka's struggles continued with a low total of 93/7, which Australia chased in 14.2 overs. Both India and Australia now face crucial matches ahead to secure their places in the tournament's semifinals.
