Bitter rivals India Women and Pakistan Women will cross swords on Sunday during the fourth match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022. The game is scheduled to take place at the Bay Oval Stadium in Mount Maunganui and is scheduled to begin at 6:30 am (IST). ,
The Women in Blue will go into the gigantic event after losing the five-match ODI series 1-4 against New Zealand. However, Team India won consecutive practice matches against South Africa Women and West Indies Women and would be confident of registering a win here. India’s T20I captain Harmanpreet Kaur’s return to form is another positive for the Mithali Raj-led side. They finished as runners-up during the previous edition of the tournament. India were defeated by England Women by nine runs during the 2017 World Cup final at Lord’s.
This is India’s 10th appearance in the marquee event but they are yet to win the coveted title. Pakistan Women have also won their two practice matches against New Zealand Women and Bangladesh Women, and will be looking to put up a brave display when they meet the neighboring country over the weekend. This is Pakistan’s fifth appearance in the ODI Women’s World Cup, but has not yet qualified for the semi-final round of the tournament.
Pakistan’s best performance in the competition came in 2009 when they finished fifth.
