Preview: On July 19, at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium in Dambulla, India Women (IND-W) and Pakistan Women (PAK-W) will square off in Match 02 of the Women’s Asia Cup T20 2024. With Nepal and the United Arab Emirates, both teams are in Group A.
The team captained by Harmanpreet Kaur is coming off a phenomenal showing against South African women at home in the multi-format series. The team lost the opening Twenty20 Internationals match by a score of twelve runs. The hosts recovered well in the third game, winning by ten wickets, following the abandonment of the second match.
In May of last year, on the other side, the bitter rivals Pakistan Women were visiting England for a white-ball series. Nida Dar & Co. lost all three of the Twenty20 Internationals by a wide margin, and they also lost the One-Day Internationals by a 2-0 margin. The team will aim to go past their previous results and give the eight-team event their all.
Womens Asia Cup T20, 2024, 2nd T20 Match, IND vs PAK
Venue: Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla
Date & Time: Friday, July 19, 7:00 PM
Pitch Report: The Rangiri Dambulla surface has typically been slower, with spinners benefiting. For the seamers, the strip provides a considerable amount of bounce, making it difficult for batters to anticipate when batting. The team that wins the toss will bat first and try to put up a manageable score on the board.
