ICC Women T20 World Cup: Big blow to India as Mandhana unlikely to play against Pakistan

ICC WOMEN T20 World Cup:  Emotions high! India will play opener against arch-rivals Pakistan


An India-Pakistan contest always creates excitement not only for the people of their country but around the world.

And this time, craving for a long overdue ICC title, Harmanpreet Kaur and her Indian troops are all prepared to battle in their Women’s T20 World Cup opener against arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday, February 12, 2023, in Cape Town, South Africa.

India comes into the World Cup having lost the recent tri-series finale to South Africa, a match which they should have won. And not only this, but they also lost the warm-up game against Australia before beating Bangladesh.

And now, the women’s India team is expected to reach the ICC’s semifinals again but if they are to beat mighty Australia, they have to up their game in all matches.
