India and Pakistan facing each other in a cricket match is even bigger than the Super Bowl. That is what the cricket fans will be going to get on this Sunday. India Women and Pakistan Women are scheduled to start their campaign of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 by facing each other. This contest will be live from Edgbaston in Birmingham on June 14 (Sunday) at 7 PM IST.
India Women have been in England for the last 12-15 days. But they lost the three-match T20I series 1-2. They had some issues in some areas, but they would be able to adjust to the conditions better. For Pakistan Women, it will be a challenge right away to perform well in these conditions. They have a really good pace attack, but their batting will be a big concern, which has failed under pressure.

Edgbaston offers batting-friendly conditions. England Women scored 219 against Sri Lanka in the first game of the tournament. The wicket was flat with much less assistance for the bowling side.

IND-W vs PAK-W: Players to Watch out for
Pakistan Women: Muneeba Ali has been the leading batter for Pakistan. A lot will depend on how she performs.
India Women: Smriti Mandhana is India's leading scorer across formats. She has experience of delivering on a big stage and will be required in this game.
India Women vs Pakistan Women Today’s Match Prediction: Both teams are not playing at their best. India Women have batters who are chewing too many dot balls in their innings. That can be a big concern going into this tournament. The inexperienced bowling unit is another big area, which needs to be addressed. India Women don't have a genuine fast-bowling all-rounder.
So, the seniors need to take more responsibility. But despite all these issues, India Women are better than Pakistan Women across all departments. Pakistan have been below-par with the bat. They have a fragile middle order, which tends to lose wickets consistently. Hence, India Women are better placed to win this game.
