The Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 is here. After all the preparations and hard works, teams will toil hard for the trophy. The tournament kick started with South Africa taking on Sri Lanka and it was a nail-bitting start to the event. However, the excitement is expected to get double as arch-rivals India and Pakistan are all set to clash with each other on Sunday (12th February).
Fixture Name: India women vs Pakistan women, 4th match Competition: T20 World Cup 2023 Date: 12th February 2022 Time: 6:30 PM IST Ground: Newlands, Cape Town
The pitch at Newlands, Cape Town generally offers a great help for pacers. But if batters apply themselves they can take the game away. So far the stadium has hosted 6 T20 games and the average first innings score at this venue is 119, which suggests it’s a low scoring ground. All the 6 games at the venue has been won by teams batting first, therefore it’s fair to say that it’s not a happy chasing ground. The team winning the toss would want to bat first and post around 130 runs, which well could a match winning total.
