New Zealand's batting effort after they could only manage 110 for 6, gave the Women in Blue a glimmer of hope but, in the end, all those hopes came crashing down as Pakistan were bowled out for 56-all out.
This was Pakistan's lowest all-out total in history but, instead of their disastrous batting performances, the Indian fans were more furious at their fielding display, which was even more shambolic.
They were so poor that calling their fielding effort the worst in women's cricket's history wouldn't be an exaggeration. The Pakistani fielders dropped not one or two but eight freaking catches in a T20 game, that's one catch every 2.5 overs.
During the 2019 ODI World Cup, Pakistani fans blamed the Men in Blue for losing on purpose to stop their side from making the semis.

Back then, the Indian cricket team had a bad day in the office with both bat and ball but their fielding was top-notch, with Ravindra Jadeja pulling one of the best catches of the tournament.
However, the Pakistan women's cricket team spilt eight absolute dollies in this crucial game, allowing New Zealand to post a respectable total on the board.
"The match was fixed as Pakistan can never see India go through semi finals," wrote one person.
"They have made the Pakistan men's team's catching look OK in comparison. They've done the impossible," commented another.
Had they fielded better, Pakistan would have allowed themselves to do the unthinkable. But instead, they ended up becoming butt of jokes on social media.
