Riding on a brilliant four-wicket haul by 17-year-old spinner Sonam Yadav and an entertaining batting by G Kamilini, India thrashed Pakistan by nine wickets in a Group A match of the U-19 Women’s T20 Asia Cup here on Sunday.

Left-arm spinner Sonam delivered her best international bowling figures of 4-6, helping India restrict the arch-rivals to just 67-7 in 20 overs. The total was then overhauled in 7.5 overs, with Kamilini playing a stroke-filled, unbeaten knock of 44 runs off just 29 deliveries.
