The fateful day has arrived as India takes on Pakistan in the ongoing ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. The two arch-rivals go head-to-head in high voltage clash. The pressure is surely on India who lost their opening game. Pakistan are however set after their opening game win and is likely to head into the match with an unchanged Playing XI. It remains to be seen if Harmanpreet Kaur will make a change in the India Playing XI for the IND W vs PAK W clash.
India Women’s Cricket Team was handed a humiliating 58-run loss by New Zealand in their opening game. And with that loss, India now is placed at the bottom of group A with an NRR of -2.9. On the other hand, Pakistan will be keen to continue their fine form and will be vengeful in eyeing their third win against India in the T20 World Cup.
Extra Batter for India?
India suffered a batting collapse the other day. With Harmanpreet scoring the highest runs for her side (15) it was a sorry state of affairs nonetheless. India will be tempted to bring in a solitary change. Yastika Bhatia is likely to get a chance in the middle order in place of Shreyanka Patil.
India needs an extra batter and Yastika can provide just that. Apart from being a keeper, she brings in that extra batting fire power that India so desperately needs. Save the one change, India will be hoping for a complete all-round show from every player.
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
Pakistan is to go unchanged!
Fatima Sana doesn’t need any changes to her already set Playing XI. Her team played very well and comprehensively went on to beat Sri Lanka in their opening game. However, against India, it will surely be a tough fixture. The Women in Green would like to keep the momentum on going by producing yet another fine show on the pitch today.
PAK W Predicted XI: Muneeba Ali(w), Gull Feroza, Sidra Amin, Omaima Sohail, Nida Dar, Tuba Hassan, Fatima Sana(c), Aliya Riaz, Diana Baig, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal
