Captain Harmanpreet Kaur, Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma not batting at their usual positions to give batting chances to other batters'.In response, Malaysia lost their openers, captain Winifred Duraisingam and Wan Julia inside first 19 balls of their chase, to Deepti Sharma and Rajeshwari Gayakwad respectively, before rain paused the proceedings at 5.2 overs.It was enough to be constituted as a game and for the DLS method to be implemented, with India winning by 30 runs, thanks to the fast start by Meghana in power-play. When rain stopped the match, DLS par score at that moment was 46, of which Malaysia were well behind. India's next match will be against UAE at the same venue on Tuesday.Brief Scores: India 181/4 in 20 overs (Sabbhineni Meghana 69, Shafali Verma 46; Nur Dania Syuhada 2/9, Winifred Duraisingam 2/36) beat Malaysia 16/2 in 5.2 overs (Rajeshwari Gayakwad 1/6, Deepti Sharma 1/10) by 30 runs via DLS method.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
