After missing out on the title in the 2017 Women’s ODI World Cup, the Indian team will begin its campaign on Sunday this year. India’s first match is against Pakistan. In such a situation, fans can get to see a high voltage match on Sunday. The good thing for India is that there are many experienced players in the team in the form of captain Mithali Raj, Jhulan Goswami, Deepti Sharma, Rajeshwari Gaikwad and Poonam Yadav.
At the same time, Pakistan’s team has landed in this World Cup without its most experienced player Sana Mir. In such a situation, the team of captain Bismah Maroof will have to perform brilliantly to defeat a very strong team like India. Before the match, the captains of India and Pakistan also met and posed for photos together.
Performance of both the teams in the last world cup
Talking about the performance of both the teams in the 2017 World Cup played in England, then India had played nine matches and won six matches. In the World Cup played in the round robin format, India had to face defeat at the hands of South Africa and Australia. However, Team India defeated Pakistan by 95 runs that year and managed to reach the semi-finals.
In the semi-final, India defeated a strong team like Australia by 36 runs. In the final, the Indian team was defeated by England by nine runs. At the same time, Pakistan played seven matches and had to face defeat in all seven. In such a situation, there will also be psychological pressure on Bismah Maroof to perform well.
India-Pakistan match statistics
Talking about statistics, India has played a total of 10 ODIs against Pakistan. Out of this, Team India has won all 10 matches. At the same time, three matches have been played between the two teams in the Women’s ODI World Cup. India has defeated Pakistan in all three matches. The Indian team will look to maintain this lead on Sunday. At the same time, Pakistan will also go to the right start of their campaign by winning this match. In such a situation, a high voltage competition can be seen.
Recent records of both teams
India had suffered a 4-1 defeat in the five-match ODI series against New Zealand before the World Cup. However, the one match that Team India won was the last match of the series. After this, India also won two practice matches against South Africa and West Indies. This will boost the morale of the team.
At the same time, Pakistan’s team is invincible from the last five matches. In this match, a tremendous competition can be seen between Indian opener Smriti Mandhana and Pakistan’s fast bowler Fatima Sana. At the same time, the match between the in-form Pakistani batsman Alia Riaz and India’s legend Jhulan Goswami will also be great.
A look at India-Pakistan team combination
Talking about the team combination, then Indian captain Mithali Raj will not be in a mood to experiment more in this World Cup. Mithali had tested all the players against New Zealand. The good thing for Team India is that all the players are fit and in form before the match against Pakistan.
Vice-captain Harmanpreet Kaur has also returned to form. She will be seen batting at number four. Harman scored a brilliant century in the practice match. The Indian team would expect him to maintain the same form against Pakistan. Smriti Mandhana in the opening and experienced Mithali and Deepti in the middle order will give strength to India.
At the same time, the young players of Pakistan have performed brilliantly in the last few matches. Thanks to the performances of Nida Dar, Alia Riaz and Diana Baig, the Pakistan team has been able to win. There will be pressure on him to play well in this match as well. Apart from this, the captain Bismah Maroof, who returned to cricket after two years, will also have to perform well.
