IN-W vs PK-W Dream11 Prediction: India Women will be under immense pressure when they take on arch-rival Pakistan Women in match no-7 of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 on Sunday afternoon. Indian team lost their opening match against New Zealand Women, while Pakistan Women started their campaign with a 31-run win over Sri Lanka Women.
The Indian team was handed a big reality check in their opening game defeat. Whether it was fielding, bowling, or batting, the Kiwis looked a class above the Indian side in all departments. In a tournament as big as this, changes in the playing XI don’t happen often, but Team India must come up with a plan to get their campaign back on track.
Pakistan Women will surely be looking at this game as a chance to derail India’s campaign completely. Fatima Sana and co. produced an outstanding bowling display, defending 116 runs with a 31-run margin after restricting Sri Lanka Women to just 85 runs in 20 overs. Truly a remarkable performance.
