The Indian women's cricket team on 31 October 2012 won inaugural Asian Cricket Council's (ACC) Twenty20 Asia Cup, beating Pakistan by 18 runs in a low-scoring final in Guangzhou city of People’s Republic of China.
The team elected to bat first but did not have a good beginning as they lost both their openers within the first couple of overs. They somehow managed to make a low score of 81runs but the bowlers did a splendid job to dismiss Pakistan to 63 in 19.1 overs.
The women bowlers showed an impressive disciplined performance with giving away just a couple of wides from 19.1 overs.
Harmanpreet Kaur, was stand-in captain in place of Mithali Raj. The captain of Indian women cricket team Mithali Raj and senior player Jhulan Goswami were not playing the final match due to ankle injury.
Earlier Indian women cricket team defeated Thailand in their opening match of the tournament by 77 runs, while Hong Kong was defeated in the second match with 142 runs.
