Now it’s up to the Women in Blue to forget what happened in the last game and make a fresh start as they lock horns with their neighbors, Pakistan. India faced a crushing defeat against New Zealand in their last encounter, where the White Ferns convincingly beat the Indian women by 58 runs. Several issues arose, from bowling in the powerplay to ultra-defensive batting. However, they will surely look to change things this time.
On the other hand, the Women in Green performed well in their last game, securing a victory over Sri Lanka. Their clinical bowling performance was the main reason they won that match by defending a total of 116 runs, ultimately winning by 31 runs. So how will Match No. 7 turn out for both the teams ?
Match Preview
Match No. 7 is surely expected to be big, as there is always a lot at stake in this biggest rivalry. India and Pakistan will meet on October 6 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. India holds the upper hand against their arch-rivals in this competition, having won five out of seven times. If we see the overall record T20Is, India are on top with 12 wins in 15 matches to date.
India vs Pakistan pitch report Dream11 Prediction
Speaking about the surface, we can expect a continuation of the past records, which hints that it tends to be slow and sluggish. Spinners and medium pacers can highly capitalize on these conditions, as it is generally better to bet on bowlers than batters. However, if a batter knows how to structure their innings with patience and can adjust according to the pitch conditions, it can also be a good surface for them. Also, while there may be some dew in the second innings, it’s not expected to be big since it’s an afternoon game. Thus, expecting a lot of dew would not be a good assumption.
