INDW vs PAKW Team Previews
India Women
India has by far been the most dominant team in the Asia Cup. They have won the title on 7 occasions in the last 8 years, including the last year.
India has been in excellent form over the past year, winning 10 of the 15 completed T20I during this time. They are coming into this tournament on the back of a 5-0 clean sweep against Bangladesh and a 1-1 draw against South Africa. India has included 15 players from that series while naming the 17-member squad for the Asia Cup.
Smriti Mandhana is in excellent form off late, and her partnership with Shafali Verma is likely to lay the foundation for a solid total. With Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues to follow, there is no dearth of batting talent. Pooja Vastrakar has been in excellent form with the ball and is also a valuable batter lower down the order.
India has picked Renuka Singh and Arundhati Reddy as the two other seam options, while Deepti Sharma, Radha Yadav, and Shreyanka Patil are the slower bowlers.

Pakistan Women
Pakistan made it to the semifinals last season but was defeated by Sri Lanka in a thrilling encounter. A lot has changed for the team since then and Pakistan will be hoping for a more favorable outcome this year.
However, it hasn’t been an easy time for the team as they have lost 7 of their last 8 T20I. These include a 0-3 loss against England just before this tournament. The team is heavily reliant on Sidra Ameen and Muneeba Ali to score runs for them.
The retirement of Bismah Mahroof and Javeria Khan has left a big void in Pakistan’s batting that is yet to be filled. Nida Dar has contributed sporadically but has lacked consistency. Pakistan has brought in Omaima Sohail, Syeda Aroob Shah, and Iram Javed to strengthen the middle order but they haven’t played any T20I this year.
Tasmia Rubab is likely to make her international debut as a fast bowler and will join Fatima Sana and Diana Baig in the seam department, while Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal, and Tuba Hassan are the spin options.

Sidra Ameen, Gull Feroza, Muneeba Ali, Nida Dar, Aliya Riaz, Iram Javed, Fatima Sana, Tuba Hassan, Sadia Iqbal, Nashra Sandhu, Syeda Aroob Shah.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at Dambulla usually favors the bowlers and we expect no change in that trend during this match. The surface is on the slower side, with plenty of cracks and grass patches that the bowlers can exploit. The bounce is a bit uneven as well, and the batters need to select their shots carefully. A total of around 150 is a par score here.
The weather is likely to remain warm and humid, and there may be some dew during the second half of the match.

Smriti Mandhana has scored 268 runs in her last 10 innings at an average of 38.29 and is in good form. She has scored at least 33 runs in 4 of her last 5 T20 innings and is likely to play a good knock here.
The pitch at Dambulla offers plenty of help to the bowlers. Since both teams, particularly India, have a strong bowling attack, there are plenty of wickets expected to fall in this match.
