India vs Pakistan, Women’s T20 World Cup 2024: Harmanpreet Kaur’s India will take on Fatima Sana’s Pakistan in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Sunday. While the latter pulled off a win against Sri Lanka in their previous encounter, the former have been thrashed by New Zealand.
It is too early in the tournament to say it is a must-win game for Harmanpreet’s side but the dent in Net Run Rate they took due to the heavy defeat on Friday means that they need to get back to winning ways immediately or given the nature of the competition with two teams qualifying out of five India might be looking down the barrel if they do manage to bag another loss on Sunday.
Predicted XI’s
IND-W predicted XI: Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (wk), Pooja Vastrakar, Deepti Sharma, Arundhati Reddy, Shreyanka Patil, Asha Sobhana, Renuka Singh
Player to watch out for:
India’s batting at number three slot ahead of the T20 World Cup has had questions hanging around it. However, on the eve of the tournament, it was confirmed skipper Harmanpreet Kaur will take the slot. She is one of the pillars of the Indian batting lineup up and she would be hoping to deliver the goods on Sunday after failure on Friday.
PAK-predicted XI: Muneeba Ali (wk), Gull Feroza, Sidra Ameen, Omaima Sohail, Nida Dar, Tuba Hassan, Fatima Sana (c), Aliya Riaz, Diana Baig, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal
Player to watch out for:
Skipper Fatima Sana had a top game as an allrounder in Pakistan’s encounter against Asia cup Champions Sri Lanka in their opening World Cup game. She chipped in with a crucial 30 with the bat and picked up two wickets with the ball to break the back of Sri Lanka in the chase. Pakistan would be hoping for their skipper to have similar returns against arch-rivals.
