India vs Pakistan Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024: Under-pressure India eye much-needed win against high-flying Pakistan – The Times of India

India faces a crucial match against Pakistan in the Women’s T20 World Cup on Sunday after suffering a heavy 58-run defeat to New Zealand. This opening loss has severely impacted India’s chances of reaching the semifinals, leaving them in a tight spot.

India’s run-rate now stands at -2.99, requiring significant wins in their remaining three matches against Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Australia.

The team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, performed poorly against New Zealand in all areas. They need to improve quickly within 24 hours to stand a chance against a confident Pakistan team, which defeated Sri Lanka in their first match.

India must address their team combinations before facing Pakistan. In their loss to New Zealand, they opted for an extra pacer, Arundhati Reddy, which led to changes in the batting order. Harmanpreet Kaur batted at No. 3, Jemimah Rodrigues at No. 4, and Richa Ghosh at No. 5, positions unfamiliar to these players.
