After putting a strong performance against New Zealand women, Women in Blue are set to clash against arch-rivals Pakistan in Women’s World T20. India women registered a thumping 34-run victory in the opening game of the campaign. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur smashed first-ever T20 century for India, while young Mumbaikar Jemimah Rodrigues worked as a good helping hand to the skipper to put up a challenging score. The bowlers did a good job, especially spinners to put White Ferns under the hammer.
Pakistan, on the other hand, did not have winning start and suffered a big loss against powerful Australia. In the opener, Pakistan wasn’t at their best with the ball which led Australia to score a big total. Batters also disappointed, not hitting powerful shots. Coming up against India, Pakistan women need to put up a good show with both, bat and bowl, to claim their first win in the tournament. Here is the probable dream XI prediction for India Women and Pakistan Women:
FPJ’s dream XI prediction: Taniya Bhatia, Omaima Sohail, Bismah Maroof, Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Aliya Riaz, Dayalan Hemalatha, Nashra Sandhu, Poonam Yadav and Radha Yadav
