The cricketing world eagerly awaits the high-stakes clash between India and Pakistan in the Women’s T20I World Cup 2024 . The subcontinental rivals will lock horns on October 6 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai, with the match scheduled to begin at 10:00 am GMT.

India enters the match on the back of a disappointing loss to New Zealand in their previous encounter. India faltered from the start and were unable to recover, eventually losing by a huge margin of 58 runs. The batting unit will be keen to rectify their mistakes and get back to winning ways.

In contrast, Pakistan are riding high on a victory over Sri Lanka. A clinical batting performance and a solid bowling display helped Pakistan secure a comfortable 31 runs win. The team will be looking to carry the momentum into the high-profile clash against India.

Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The Dubai International Cricket Stadium pitch is expected to offer a balanced surface for both batters and bowlers. It is likely to be slightly slow and low, with a tendency to grip the surface. The spinners could play a significant role in the match, especially in the middle overs. Batters will need to be patient and adjust to the pace of the pitch. However, the dew factor could come into play later in the evening, potentially aiding the batters. Overall, it is anticipated to be a good wicket for a competitive T20I match.
