The 7th match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 witnesses an epic clash between the arch-rivals India vs Pakistan in the Group A fixtures.
After winning the 2-warm-up matches against South Africa by 28 runs and West Indies by 20 runs, the women-in-blue weren’t able to start their T20 World Cup campaign on a positive note. Shockingly, India’s flop show with the batting performance resulted a 58-run loss in their first match of the tournament against New Zealand. But, the Indian women cricketers will aim to bounce back and continue the tournament on a high note. Especially, after an 8-wicket loss against Sri Lanka in the recently concluded Asia Cup tournament, Harmanpreet Kaur’s led side would be keen to win its first ICC trophy.
On the other hand, the Pakistan women’s cricket team needs to prove their best abilities and competitiveness against challenging teams. After losing back-to-back warm-up games against Scotland by 8 wickets and Bangladesh by 23 runs, the women-in-green made a great comeback and managed to win their first match in the tournament against Sri Lanka by 31 runs.
