Pakistan gear up to face India in Women’s World Cup challenge

Author: Online

LONDON: Pakistan, looking for their first win of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2017, is all set to clash with unbeaten archrivals India in Derby on Sunday (today).

Sana Mir-led Pakistan will look to replicate the historic Champions Trophy success of the Men in Green against India, after having lost to South Africa and hosts England in their earlier two games in the tournament.

Pakistan Women lost a closely-fought game against South Africa by 3 wickets and took a 107-run beating by England Women in their second match.

Some positives included a superb inning of 79 by opener Nahida Khan against the Proteas and a sure-footed unbeaten fifty by opener Ayesha Zafar against England.

India, meanwhile, have won both of their two games in the tournament so far.
