IND-W vs PAK-W Head to Head record
For the fifth consecutive time, the Women’s Asia Cup will be played in T20 format. Let us tell you that the Indian women’s team has dominated Pakistan in the T20 format so far. In this format, India and Pakistan have faced each other 14 times in T20 International, out of which India has won 11 matches. These figures clearly show that India has had the upper hand in the Asia Cup as well.
The team has won five out of six matches. However, the last time the two teams clashed, Pakistan won. Pakistan has handed over the captaincy of the team to Nida Dar for the upcoming tournament. However, a lot of changes have been seen in the Pak team for this Asia Cup. Iram Javed, Omaima Sohail and Syeda Arub Shah have got a place in the team for the first time this year while Tasmia Rubab will make her debut.
If we look at the recent performance of the Pakistan team, it has not been that good. The team has played 19 matches in the last one year, out of which they have won only seven matches. They have won the series against New Zealand. But the Pakistan team has lost against Bangladesh and West Indies. They also had to face a 3-0 defeat against England. Now it will be interesting to see which team wins today’s match.
