It is all set for the biggest rivalry in Women’s cricket to happen in Dubai International Cricket Stadium as Indian Women lock horns with their arch-rivals Pakistan Women on the 6th of October 2024. Sunday’s are always special for the rivalry between these two South Asian countries when it comes to their Men’s encounters. Although here you have the women on stage, we can expect absolute fire when these two countries meet each other.
The significance of this clash is paramount as this is not just an odd meetup between the countries but an absolutely important T20 World Cup clash between these 2 countries. This will be played as the 7th game of the tournament as a group A clash. This will be a crucial encounter for these 2 teams as the winner of this match will have a higher chance to progress to the next stage of the tournament by getting through a highly contested group which has got very tough contesters like World Champions Australia, Asian Champions Sri Lanka and New Zealand team which can’t be taken lightly.
Considering both these two teams have never won a World Cup earlier, there will be huge pressure on the shoulders of Captains Harmanpreet Kaur and Fatima Sana to keep up with the expectations that their fans have on them. Harmanpreet Kaur will be much used to these scenarios and situations as she has lots of bitter and sweet memories as they have been consistently able to get into the Knockout stages of the ICC Tournaments last few years. She would love to go a few steps further to make their mother nations proud for the first time in history. On the other hand, Fatima Sana who is relatively younger for the Captaincy will have a lot to experience and learn throughout the tournament if she wants to do the unthinkable task for the Pakistan Women in the past.
Talking about India’s key players to watch out for and you can bet on, our top choice for your fantasy team would be Deepti Sharma who will be a very smart pick for the Indian team with her Bowling and Batting abilities. She will be the top impact player for India throughout the tournament. Talking about the Batters to watch out on, Smriti Mandhana will be expected to score well in this match along with Shafali Verma. Our Wild card pick here would be Jemimah Rodrigues who has got a good chance to score well if the top order fails in case. Our top bowling pick will be Radha Yadav who will have a very good chance of getting at least 2 wickets here in this match.
Discussing Pakistan’s key players to watch out for, Bowling All-rounder Nida Dar is someone you can definitely rely on. She will not disappoint you with both aspects of the game and expected to earn good fantasy points if Pakistan plays well. When considering Batters, Muneeba Ali is expected to be the highest scorer along with Fatima Sana who will have captaincy responsibility on her shoulders. Sadia Iqbal will be the highest wicket-taker for Pakistan as she will be able to take at least 2 wickets in the game.
Considering the overall match conditions and team performances throughout the last few months we do expect India to win this match without having much trouble and we do expect some sort of a fight from Pakistani girls with the ball to cause some trouble to the star-studded Indian batting lineup. However, we are not able to expect a lot from Pakistan Batters as we expect them to get bundled out under 130 runs.
