IND Women Team News & Playing 11
IND-W Team News
After beating Sri Lanka Women by eight wickets in the 2022 Women’s Asia Cup Final, India Women have now won seven of the eight editions of the tournament. They finished second in 2018 but will come into this year’s competition as the clear favourites.
IND-W Team Batting
There are some exceptional batters in India Women’s line-up but opener Smriti Mandhana is certainly the player who comes into this match in the strongest form. Alongside her, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues and captain Harmanpreet Kaur will make a formidable top four against Pakistan Women.
IND-W Team Bowling
Most pundits expect Radha Yadav and Pooja Vastrakar to be the most threatening bowlers for India Women in Friday’s game and they were the top bowling performers when they last took on Pakistan Women in a WT20I in February 2023.
IND-W Team Form
India Women have lost just one of their last five matches in this format.
IND Women Predicted Playing 11
Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Uma Chetry (wk), Sajeevan Sajana, Deepti Sharma, Pooja Vastrakar, Radha Yadav, Shreyanka Patil, Arundhati Reddy

PAK-W Team News
Although they have never won the Women’s Asia Cup, Pakistan Women have a strong record in the tournament with two second place finishes and four third place finishes. In the 2022 competition, they got to the last four before losing by just one run to Sri Lanka Women.
PAK-W Team Batting
Pakistan Women do not have the long batting line-up which their opponents have and as such there will be plenty of pressure on the top five to make large contributions. When they last beat India Women in this format, in the 2022 Women’s Asia Cup, it was captain Nida Dar who top scored with 56 not out from 37 balls.
PAK-W Team Bowling
India Women were bowled out for 124 when they played Pakistan Women in Bangladesh two years ago and Nida Dar will need her bowling attack to be at their best again to win this match. Tuba Hassan is a talented leg-spinner and she should get turn in Dambulla.
PAK-W Team Form
Pakistan Women come into this match after losing their last four WT20Is.
PAK Women Predicted Playing 11
Gull Feroza, Sidra Amin, Omaima Sohail, Muneeba Ali (wk), Nida Dar (c), Aliya Riaz, Tuba Hassan, Fatima Sana, Diana Baig, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal
🏆 IND Women vs PAK Women Prediction
After Pakistan Women beat India Women in the 2022 Women’s Asia Cup, we can expect India Women to be wary of their opponents ahead of this match. As with any good sporting rivalry, both sides will be desperate to beat the other but India Women have a much stronger team across their XI. We are backing India Women to win.
