WT20WC 2024: India women will take on Pakistan Women in the 7th match of the ICC T20 Women World Cup 2024 at the Dubai International Stadium. The IND vs PAK Women match will kick off on October 6 starting at 3:30 PM IST.
India women had a disappointing start with a loss against New Zealand by 58 runs in a season-opening game in Dubai. After winning the toss NZ women chose to bat first and posted a 160-run target for Team Blue. Sadly, the Indian top batting lineup failed to chase the target, losing early wickets. With Smriti 12(13), Harmanpreet Kaur 15(14), and Jemimah Rodrigues 13(11) Team India only reached 102 in 19 overs.
Then we have arch-rivals Pakistan Women’s team who started their campaign with a victory over Sri Lanka by 31 runs. Captain Fatima Sana (30), Nida Dar (23), and Omaima Sohail (18) managed to score 116 runs. However, it’s Pakistan’s bowling team who secured the win with Sadia Iqbal (3/17), Fatima Sana (2/10), and Nashra Sandhu (2/15) sent back Sri Lanka women for 85/9 in 20 overs.
