On Friday, October 4, India women kickstarted their Women's T20 World Cup 2024 campaign as they faced New Zealand in their tournament opener. It was an embarrassing start as the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side suffered a 58-run defeat.

New Zealand, batting first, put 160 runs on the board. In reply, India tumbled for just 102 runs, with every senior member of the team failing with the bat. Thus, tough calls are expected to be taken as the Women in Blue next face arch-nemesis Pakistan on October 6 at the Dubai International Stadium. 

Thus, this article will shed light on the probable XI that India would look to go ahead with for the Pakistan challenge.

Despite the defeat, India are unlikely to make major changes as they played with the strong possible XI. However, the team can opt for one change and bring in experienced Radha Yadav, who can outfox the Pakistani batters with her off-spin as India need to play extra spinners because of the slowish nature of Dubai surfaced seen so far.  

There were also demands of Deepti Sharma's ouster as she gave away 45 runs in her four overs. However, the Indian management would look to give her a long rope. 

Thus, India will go with Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma at the top, with skipper Kaur, Jemimah Rodrigues and Richa Ghosh headlining the middle order. 

In the bowling department, Renuka Singh and Pooja Vastrakar would be there, but Radha Yadav is likely to be Arundhati Reddy.
