India’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup hopes are now in serious danger following a crushing 58-run defeat to New Zealand, leaving Harmanpreet Kaur’s side with their backs against the wall for the remainder of the group stage. Team India will now lock horns with arch-rivals Pakistan in their second match.
Kaur’s side will have to treat every group match as a must-win and with defending champions Australia also in the same group, the match against Pakistan becomes even more important.
On the other hand, Pakistan will enter the contest fresh off an opening-day win over Asia Cup champions Sri Lanka. With so much at stake, Pakistan knows that a victory could effectively eliminate India from the tournament and potentially secure their own spot in the semifinals.
In T20Is, India has thoroughly dominated Pakistan, winning 12 matches compared to Pakistan’s 3. Women in Blue have also claimed victory in seven of their last eight encounters, including their most recent clash in the Asia Cup. India also triumphed in their T20 World Cup matchup in Cape Town last year, successfully chasing 150 with the help of Jemimah Rodrigues.
