Welcome to a Major WT20I World Cup Clash
Hello and welcome to a significant fixture in this Women’s T20 International World Cup as India face Pakistan at Edgbaston.
Earlier this year, the corresponding men’s tournament match between these teams was accompanied by considerable on and off-field attention. In contrast, the lead-up to this women’s match has been comparatively calm.
India Captain Focuses Solely on Cricket
India’s captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, has maintained a strong focus on the sport during the pre-match press conference.
"We are here for cricket and we only talk about cricket. Except for cricket we don’t talk anything and I don’t even think we know anything except cricket. Cricket has been our dream from day one and we only discuss cricket and for tomorrow’s game we are only thinking about it as another game which we are going to play."
Intense Rivalry and Tournament Stakes
While the captain refers to it as just another game, the rivalry between India and Pakistan is always intense. Both teams will be eager to start their tournament campaign with a victory in the highly competitive Group 1.
