Indian eves start favourites against Pakistan

The Indo-Pak rivalry will not just be limited to men come tomorrow in the ICC World Twenty20 as the women’s teams from both the countries will also square off in a low-on-hype contest where the hosts will start firm favourites.

The in-form Indian women’s team and Pakistan will clash at the Ferozshah Kotla ground in their second Group B ICC World Twenty20 match here tomorrow, a few hours before their male counterparts lock horns in Kolkata.

With a dominating 5-1 record against Pakistan in T20Is and on the back of a thumping win in their tournament opener against Bangladesh, the Mithali Raj-led women’s team will definitely start favourites in the Group B fixture.

This Indo-Pak ICC World Twenty20 fixture is in total contrast to the other one which has been embroiled in controversies before the start of the tournament.
