PREVIEW

On a high after a resounding 34-run winning start over New Zealand in their ICC Women's World T20 campaign, a confident India will aim to continue their domination over arch-rivals Pakistan when they face off at the Providence Stadium.

India and Pakistan women have played each other 10 times with India winning eight times and Pakistan the other two. India also hold the upper hand in World T20 events, winning three of the five encounters so far.

Going in to Sunday's high-octane clash, India will be hoping for a repeat of their show in the opener against New Zealand.

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur led from the front with a blistering maiden T20I ton (103 from 51 balls) to help India post a mammoth 194/5, their highest ever T20I total before the bowlers got into the act to restrict the White Ferns to 160/9.

It will be interesting to see if coach Romesh Powar and Harmanpreet decide to back veteran Mithali Raj to open the innings along side Mandhana against Pakistan.
