The second match of the Women’s Asia Cup 2024 will feature a clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan on Friday (July 19) in Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla.

Recent encounters: India vs Pakistan

The last encounter between these two teams took place on February 2023, during the Women’s T20 World Cup in Cape Town. India emerged victorious in that match, winning by seven wickets, showcasing their dominance over Pakistan in recent fixtures.

Current form

India come into the Women’s Asia Cup on the back of a solid performance against South Africa. Their recent form has been encouraging, giving them confidence as they enter the tournament. On the other hand, Pakistan have struggled in the T20 format, having lost their last four games. This poor run of form adds pressure on Pakistan to perform well and turn their fortunes around in the Asia Cup.
