"I've been saying this all year long, getting an opportunity to play Australia, West Indies, South Africa, it has helped us prepare and given us a lot of confidence [playing the ICC Women's championship]," Sana Mir says, "Extremely proud of the way we played the last few matches, and we have been following England's team as well and we think we have a very good chance of beating them and playing the semis"
"This tournament, we are the youngest team here. We didn't win any game, but it was part of cricket. We gathered experience, and hopefully it will help us in the next tournament," Jahanara Alam says. "We need to do better physically and mentally. We have lack of experience. We haven't played too many international matches"
That's all we have for you tonight. Thank you for your company and your comments. Ta ta!
Sidra Ameen is the Player of the Match. "When I stared the innings, I was a little confused, but once I started playing my shots, I got confident. I played ball by ball, then thanks to Bismah, she told me how to play, play according to the field, pick the gaps"
Pakistan are off for a little lap of honour around the ground. Presentations to come soon
adnan Akhtar: "Two virtual quarterfinals on Sunday in Mohali! India vs WI for the women and India vs Australia for the men"
That's a nine-wicket win, that should help with net run-rate calculations. And up in Dharamsala, England have won a thriller by one wicket. Here in Delhi, Amin walks off with the biggest smile anyone could ever have. Struck her maiden fifty in a World Cup. Maroof lets her lead, but Amin trots back to her partner and they walk off together to shake hands with the Bangladesh team. Pakistan's best partnership in Women's World T20 - 99 unbeaten runs in a superbly controlled chase. Have to admit though, Bangladesh weren't able to handle the dew that was around. They struggled to collect the ball out on the field, a few full tosses slipped out of the bowler's hands too

that's her first and she raises her bat in triumph. What a composed half-century from the opener. Gently little push down the ground and she leapt up in the air to celebrate. Performs the sajda with a big smile on her face. Lovely innings

good length ball on leg stump, since she made room, defended. She was batting at a strike rate of 60-odd. Now she's well over 100.

how about that. That's the best shot of the night. So still at the crease, until the ball arrives. It's a half-volley, she comes forward to meet it and caresses it through extra cover.

right up there on off stump by Ghosh the medium pacer, driven to long-on. Effortlessly flowing towards her maiden T20I fifty
The Pakistan dug out is beaming. Messing with one of the players' hair to boot.

bowled flatter on off stump, eased into the covers for a quick single. Wonder how many dots Maroof's played in this innings. Should be low

hat-trick! These girls are just having fun now. Skips down the pitch and then a whirl of her wrists makes sure she gives it enough to scurry away to the midwicket boundary

another boundary on the leg side, this time she drags it even further to the leg side. Come down the track, bottom-handed power off a really low-grip wins
