Women’s T20 WC 2024, IND-W vs PAK-W: Team Previews

India Women

Team India suffered a huge 58-run defeat to New Zealand in their opening match of the 2024 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in Dubai. Chasing 161 for a win, Harmanpreet Kaur and co. crumbled for just 102 in 19 overs. In the build-up to the tournament, the ‘Women in Blue’ lost to Sri Lanka in the finals of the 2024 Women’s Asia Cup.

In order to attain success against Pakistan, the Indian contingent will surely be relying on hard-hitting openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma as well as captain Harmanpreet Kaur with the bat. Renuka Singh and Pooja Vastrakar will also be expected to deliver early breakthroughs at the top owing to their proficiency with the new ball.

Pakistan Women

Pakistan Women shrugged off their home defeat to South Africa and Asia Cup disappointment earlier this year with an emphatic 31-run over Sri Lanka in the first Group A match of the 2024 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. After forming 116 with the bat, Pakistan bowlers Sadia Iqbal (3-17), Omaima Sohail (2-17) and Nashra Sandhu (2-15) collectively kept Sri Lanka down to just 85-9 in 20 overs.

Bowling all-rounders Nida Dar and Fatima Sana will start out as some of the in-form members of the Pakistani batting line-up. The bowling department will likely be helmed by Sadia Iqbal as well as Nida Dar as the two cricketers have emerged as their highest wicket-takers in the past few weeks.
