... Match Day ...
The build-up to the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, 2024 continues with the warm-up matches. In the next match, Bangladesh Women take on Pakistan Women at the ICC Academy Ground No 2 in Dubai and it should be a fascinating encounter between the two sub-continental teams. These two teams have been in and around the knockout stages of the competition but haven't quite managed to go shoulder-to-shoulder with the big teams. In recent years, Bangladesh Women have challenged for the Asia Cup while Pakistan Women have fallen off a bit with the Lankans emerging as the Asian frontrunners alongside India and both these teams will be itching to replicate the success of their neighboring countries. Both teams come into this match on the back of a defeat in their previous round of warm-up matches as Bangladesh Women were undone by Asian champs Sri Lanka and Pakistan Women suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Scotland. Those results make this game even more crucial as both sides would want to go into the main event with a win behind their back. Let's see who comes out on top.
