Carlos Zambrano Jersey . -- When the Los Angeles Kings are on top of their formidable defensive game, they revel in the silence they can create in a frustrated road arena. Kris Bryant Jersey . CBS Sports Jon Heyman is reporting that Santana will sign a one-year deal, likely in the next two days with one of a trio of suitors, with the Toronto Blue Jays believed to be heavily involved.Pakistan Women were wobbling before rain arrived to seal a surprise two-run win over India Women via the Duckworth-Lewis method. Sanar Mirs side restricted India to just 96-7 but had slipped from 71-3 to 77-6 in reply when the covers came on with 20 needed off 24 balls - Pakistan were two runs ahead on D/L at that point.Unchanged India simply didnt get going after being put in - the first boundary only arriving in the eighth over when Mithali Raj (16) drove Sadia Yousuf over cover to the rope.Skipper Raj was otherwise largely subdued as Pakistans attack squeezed the life out of the innings after Anam Amin (1-9) and Asmavia (1-14) Iqbal claimed an early breakthrough apiece.Veda Krishnamurthy (24 off 19) and Jhulan Goswami (14) provided a little impetus but at the halfway stage India - who beat Bangladesh in their opening game - looked well short.In contrast Pakistans chase motored early on as Bibi Nahida (14), brought into the team after Javeria Khan was ruled out of the tournament with a fractured thumb, struck consecutive fours off AAnuja Patils first over.ddddddddddddNahidas positive approach back-fired when she holed out to mid-on off Shikha Pandey but Sidra Ameen kept the board ticking, passing her previous best score of 20 in the process. Gayakwad gave India a little hope when she bowled Ameen on the sweep - the opener hitting across the line to be bowled off-stump - and that grew in the following over when Bismah Maroof drove Harmanpreet Kaur to Jhulan at mid-off to make it 50-3 off 10 overs. With the pressure building - and the rain clouds gathering - Raj continued to lead by example, diving to her right to catch Iram Javed superbly.Verma missed a run out and a simple stumping chance as Muneeba Ali came down the wicket but quickly made amends by collecting Smiritis shy and running out Asmavia Iqbal before throwing down the stumps at the non-strikers end to send Sana Mir back first ball.The game was back in the balance when light drizzle became heavy rain, forcing the players from the pitch.Watch Australia Women take on New Zealand Women from 9.45am on Monday, on Sky Sports 2.
