IND -W vs PAK-W: India eye change in approach as they face Pakistan
The excitement is palpable as the stage is set for one of the most anticipated clashes in the T20I World Cup between India Women and Pakistan Women, set to be held on Sunday at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.
Pakistan Women kicked off their World Cup campaign with a resounding victory against Sri Lanka Women, showcasing their dominance and all-round show. With a well-rounded squad featuring experienced players, Pakistan demonstrated a perfect blend of aggressive batting and sharp bowling. They outplayed Sri Lanka with both bat and ball, setting a high standard for the tournament.
On the other hand, India Women faced a disappointing start to their World Cup campaign, suffering a heavy defeat in their opening match against New Zealand Women. Indian batters completely failed to rise to the occasion, losing their wickets in quick succession. However, this setback could also fuel their determination to rise to the occasion.
With the availability of incredibly talented players, India will be looking to return strongly. India will rely heavily on their players, Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana, whose ability to anchor the innings and accelerate when needed is vital. India would also expect their bowlers to step up to contain Pakistan’s aggressive batters.
