India Women are set to take on arch-rivals Pakistan Women in match number 12 of the ongoing Women’s T20 Asia Cup 2022. The contest marks the fourth fixture for both sides in the tournament.

India Women, under Harmanpreet Kaur, are currently placed at the top of the Asia Cup points table. The ‘Women in Blue’ have won all three of their matches with convincing margins. Their most recent win margin was their 104-run thumping over UAE Women last week.

Pakistan Women, on the other hand, are placed at number two on the points table. They won their first two fixtures against Malaysia and Bangladesh respectively.
