India Vs Pakistan Preview
A commanding 137-run win over Hong Kong has given India a massive confidence boost ahead of the big clash. Smriti Mandhana was at the heart of the emphatic triumph, producing a remarkable 124 off 64 deliveries to break a major record in women's international cricket.
Mandhana's stunning knock carried an added milestone as she moved beyond Mithali Raj to become women's international cricket's leading run-scorer. Her partnership with the hard-hitting Shafali Verma has given India's batting a potent edge at the top.
India's bowling attack has emerged as another major strength. Deepti Sharma has once again taken the top spot on the women's T20I wicket-taking charts, while pacers Nandni Sharma and Kranti Gaud have made early inroads with disciplined new-ball spells that have kept scoring in check during the powerplay.
A 35-run victory over Thailand gave Pakistan the ideal start to their campaign and plenty of belief ahead of the meeting with India.
Opener Muneeba Ali provided the batting foundation with a determined fifty despite testing weather conditions.
Fatima Sana's side also possesses considerable strength in the spin department, with Sadia Iqbal, Nashra Sandhu and Tuba Hassan forming the core of their slow-bowling attack. The trio will be tasked with exploiting Dubai's slower conditions and preventing India's stroke-makers from dictating the middle phase.
