India Women will face off against Pakistan Women in the second match of the Women’s Asia Cup T20 2024 at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla on July 19.
Both teams, India Women (IND-W) and Pakistan Women (PAK-W), are in Group A with Nepal and the UAE.
The team led by Harmanpreet Kaur is coming off a great run in the multi-format series against South African women at home. In the T20Is, they suffered a 12-run loss in the first game. Following the second match, which was abandoned, the hosts came back strong in the third game and won by 10 wickets.
Conversely, rivals Pakistan Women were touring England for a white-ball series in May. In three T20Is, Nida Dar & Co. lost all matches significantly and then lost the ODI series by a 2-0 score. The team will aim to overcome these past losses and perform their best in the eight-team tournament.
Pitch Report
The Rangiri Dambulla pitch is known for being slower, which benefits spinners. For the bowlers, the pitch offers decent bounce, making it challenging for the batsmen to predict the ball’s movement. The team that wins the toss will choose to bat first, aiming to score a strong total.
