The 4th match of ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 is scheduled to play between India Women and Pakistan Women on Sunday, 12th February 2023 at Newlands, Cape Town.

India Women’s team had been improved in some previous years and there are many reasons behind this. The infrastructure of women’s cricket in India had improved and they are also going to start the women’s edition of the Indian Premier League. India had produced some best batters and bowlers, especially in T20 cricket. The batting order of team India is very strong. Shefali Verma, Hamrmanpreet Kaur, and Smriti Mandhana are the best top batters in team India. We are sure that these three batters will play a main role for India in this tournament.

The middle batting order of team India is also strong and very experienced. Yastika Bhatia, Deepti Sharma, Harleen Deol, and Jemimah Rodrigues are other Indian batters who can perform well in the middle and lower batting order. India had played aggressively in recent matches and we are sure that they will continue this strategy. India is also rich in the bowling department, especially in T20 cricket. Radha Yadav, Pooja Vastrakar, Shikha Pandey, and Renuka Singh are leading bowlers in the squad of team India. They will also have the help of some all-rounders.

Pakistan Women’s team is not stronger as team India but they will come to this match with confidence as they had beaten India in the most recent match which was played in Asia Cup. It is also a fact that India had beaten Pakistan in 10 out of 13 matches. Pakistan team has its senior players available for this match and they also know the strengths and weaknesses of team India. The batting order of Pakistan is strong and experienced at least on papers.

Bismah Maroof and Javeria Khan will be leading the batting order of Pakistan with Muneeba Ali, Omaima Sohail, Aliya Riaz, and Nida Dar. These batters had played a lot of cricket and we can expect that they will perform well against India as the middle batting order of Pakistan is very strong. The conditions in South Africa are high scoring which is not in the favor of Pakistan. Pakistan has some best bowlers of the T20 format in its squad. Nashra Sandhu, Ayesha Naseem, and Aiman Anwer are the three leading bowlers of Pakistan.
