The scrumptious encounter between staunch rivals India and Pakistan threatens to deliver fireworks at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023 on Sunday. Split by the famous Radcliffe Line and hamstrung by the absence of bilateral fixtures, the neighbours have found their cricketing jousts being restricted to only ICC events or continental tournaments like the Asia Cup. India has faced Pakistan six times in total since the inaugural edition in 2009, winning on four occasions to date. Both will resume their epic rivalry in what would be an opener for both the sides in the current edition of the tournament.
India may possess an overall edge over Pakistan winning 10 out of the 13 T20I matches, but the Women in Green have slowly turned the tide, winning a hyped Asia Cup encounter last year. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will step in without one of their finest batters, Smriti Mandhana. Even if injured Mandhana will be missed, the squad has the past to lean on for the feel-good vibe.
