Arch-rivals India and Pakistan will go head to head against one another at the ICC Ladies' T20 World Cup 2024 on Sunday 6 October, while the West Indies will hope to return against Scotland.

Attention is gone to the challenge between India and Pakistan at Dubai International Cricket Stadium and there is a lot on the line for the two sides with only two groups from the gathering to advance to the semi-finals.

The second match on Sunday will likewise have a few ramifications on the knockout stages, with 2016 winners West Indies chasing a first victory at the tournament after a disappointing display against South Africa.

When India plays Pakistan in international cricket, the stakes are always high, and this time it's no different. Both teams had mixed results in their first group matches.

Pakistan will be dreaming of what might be if they can make it two on the trot and inch closer to a maiden semi-final berth, while India would have been banking on a victory first-up against New Zealand and will not want to lose a second match in a row at the tournament.

In this match, India's strong batting order will be expected to perform better, whereas Pakistan's lineup has decent depth and should not be underestimated.

India player Jemimah Rodrigues: "I think what we have been doing all around well as a group is simply sticking to the cycle and doing anything it requires some investment. We know each game from here is so crucial for us. That's what we know. And yet, we're going to go each game in turn and simply ensure we stick to our cycle and take care of our business competently. Also, I think if we can do that, I think if we play our best cricket, I think we can win matches."

Pakistan captain Fatima Sana: First of all, no group is little or big. Since it is T20 design. The person who plays well, wins the match on the day. In this way, we will attempt to convey the energy that we have gained from here. Obviously, we have three big groups in front of us. We will attempt to give our best with them.
