Japan bowled out for 57 as India secures 8‑wicket victory in quarter‑final

At Korogi Sports Park, Japan's batting collapse was evident as none of their top order could negotiate India's disciplined attack. Apart from Iwasaki's ten and Kato's twenty‑five, every other batter fell for single‑digit scores. Shrimati Chhavni's four‑wicket burst and contributions from Shefali Verma, Shrayanka Patil, and Deepti Sharma dismantled the Japanese total. The Indian chase was anchored by Verma’s aggressive 40, and the side comfortably crossed the target with eight wickets in hand.
