Bismah made her come back to international cricket after a maternity break as she gave birth to a baby girl in August last year.

Earlier, Pooja Vastrakar and Sneh Rana's 122-run partnership for the seventh wicket with Rajeshwari Gayakwad's four-wicket haul helped India register confident win over Pakistan in their World Cup opener. (Inputs from UNI)
