Recently when India faced Pakistan, they managed to score just 55. But Japan faced them for the first time and posted two more runs than Pakistan.
Comparison
@GemsOfCricket But this champion squad was too terrified to bat first against minnows? Why are these cowardly Indian captains so terrified?

India Women's team going against other minnow teams in Asia is just fantastic. The best way to describe it is the fact that a dog is in the same pond as the ducks.
Look at the Positives
@mufaddal_vohra Japan has been defeated very badly but it is a good thing for Japan that it got a chance to play against India.

The Indian team went on to defeat Japan in the most dominant fashion. But the good thing for Japan is that they finally got to play against the Indian team.
