Fighting knocks of Sneh Rana and Pooja Vastrakar were backed up by all-round bowling performance as India defeated Pakistan.
“I enjoyed my partnership with Pooja. I know she is a hard hitter and we both are strike rotaters as well. It was my first partnership with her and I had a great time batting with her,” she added.
