In the much-awaited IND-W vs PAK-W Asia Cup 2024 clash, Pakistan Women’s captain Nida Dar decided to bat first after winning the toss.
The clash between India and Pakistan will have a special fan base in the cricket community whether it be Men’s or Women’s division. Owing to the political tension between the two countries, Pakistan and India avoid any bilateral meetups and will clash only in ICC and ACC events.
The last time these two sides met in an Asia Cup tournament, India was outplayed by Pakistan in all 3 departments and succumbed to their third loss ever to Pakistan in T20s at that time.
The “Player of the Match” of that game, Nida Dar, is now Pakistan’s skipper and the onus will be on her, once again, to try and replicate similar success. As for India, they levelled a T20 series (1-1) against South Africa recently, but the squad is very rich on experience
Winning the toss, Pakistan women’s captain Nida Dar said “We will bat first, looks like a dry wicket. We have practiced and trained a lot in Karachi and we are well prepared for this contest. It is a great opportunity ahead of the T20 World Cup. We have a good combination and bowlers and batters and hoping for a good game”.
Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur said “For us anything was okay because the conditions are gonna be the same for the 40 overs. Every game is important for us and we want to get into rhythm from the first game. We have made 3 changes from the last T20I we played against South Africa”.
