Match Preview IND-W vs PAK-W Match 02, Group A

India Women (IND-W) are scheduled to face Pakistan Women (PAK-W) in Match 02 of the Women's Asia Cup T20 2024 at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium in Dambulla on July 19. Both teams belong to Group A, which also includes Nepal and UAE.

The team led by Harmanpreet Kaur recently showed strong form in a multi-format series against South Africa Women at home. In the T20I series, India suffered a narrow 12-run loss in the opening match. The second match was abandoned, but they bounced back strongly in the third game, securing a comprehensive 10-wicket victory.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Women recently toured England for a series of white-ball matches in May. They faced defeats in all three T20Is against England, followed by a 2-0 loss in the ODIs. The team, led by Nida Dar, will aim to leave behind their recent struggles and deliver competitive performances in this eight-team tournament.
