Whenever India and Pakistan meet, there are always high expectations, and this time is no different as both the teams have had mixed fortunes in their opening group matches.
India were hoping for a first win against New Zealand and will not want to lose a second consecutive match in the tournament, while Pakistan are dreaming of reaching the semi-finals if they win two matches in a row.
More expectations are being placed on India’s strong batting order in this match, while Pakistan also have some good depth in their line-up and should not be underestimated.
what they said
India batsman Jemima Rodrigues: ”
I think the best thing we have done as a team is to stick to the process and take each match at a time. We know that every match after that is very important for us. But at the same time, we will focus on one match and make sure we do our job well, and I think if we can do that, we will play the best cricket, and we will win the match can.”
Pakistan captain Fatima Sana:
“The first thing is that no team is too small or too big. Because this is a T20 format. Whoever plays better, wins the match on the day. So, we can use the great morale we have got now.” Will try to continue. Obviously, there are three big teams in front of us. We will try our best with them.”

Another crucial match for both sides, who will be looking to bounce back from losses in their opening group matches.
West Indies suffered a disappointing 10-wicket defeat against South Africa and are worried about the health of their fast bowler Zayda James, who suffered a facial injury in their opening match.
Scotland suffered a loss against Bangladesh in their tournament opener on Thursday, but they were buoyed by a good bowling performance and opener Sarah Bryce’s brilliant 49*.
Bryce will need support from sister Catherine and Saskia Harley this time, while the West Indies will not want all the scoring to be confined to Stephanie Taylor this time around, with captain Hayley Matthews set to play a decisive role in the contest.
what they said
West Indies captain Hayley Mathews:
“Obviously it was a disappointing first match against South Africa. We didn’t score enough runs at first and yes, we probably wanted to take some wickets and at least the second innings. I would have had some resistance, but yes, with a match two days later we have to quickly reset things and get going again.”
Scotland all-rounder Saskia Harley:
“There’s a lot of excitement and pride around representing Scotland. Our captain, Catherine Bryce, said, ‘We’re going to make history here’. Anything more is a bonus.” So yes, we’ve tried to stay together as a group, which we pride ourselves on as a whole team.”
