IND Vs NEP to take place in Women's Asia Cup [X]
The India women's team have been on a roll in the ongoing Asia Cup 2024. They have played two matches, and have thrashed their opponents in both the contests, to assert themselves as the favourites.
They will now collide against Nepal Women, and will look to finish the group stage unbeaten.
Team Previews
India Women
The team has been on a roll in the last couple of days. India defeated arch-rivals Pakistan convincingly, and followed it up with another sensational win against an helpless UAE side. The team has been in excellent run of form, and the consistency starts from the top, with Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Varma firing all guns blazing.
The batting looks solid with Harmanpreet Kaur and Richa Ghosh, playing as aggressive batters in the middle-order. The spinners have been excellent, but the only regret India will have is the loss of Shreyanka Patil, who was ruled out of the tournament due to injury.
The pitch at the Dambulla stadium has helped the spinners and India women will be confident of continuing their winning run.
Nepal Women
India have sealed their place in the semis, and interestingly, Nepal still have a really good chance to qualify over Pakistan.
For that, they need to defeat the Indian team, and hope Pakistan lose their next match, or barely win against UAE.
Nepal won their opening fixture against UAE by 6-wickets, but were taken down by Pakistan in a one-sided affair. They will look to regroup and defeat the undefeatable in the tournament.

IND-W Vs NEP-W: Dambulla Stadium Pitch Report
The Dambulla pitch is good for the batters, especially in the evening matches. Under lights, the ball settles in quickly, and it helps the batters to play their strokes. However, the slowness of the surface can be exploited by the spinners. Interestingly, the pitch gets better as the game progresses, making batting second as the first choice for the captains.
