India vs Pakistan, Women's T20 WC 2026: Women's T20 World Cup is going to start from June 12. India and Pakistan will face each other in this ICC tournament on June 14. This will also be the first encounter of these two arch-rivals in the tournament. Meaning, India and Pakistan will start their campaign by playing against each other in the Women's T20 World Cup 2026. However, even before the clash against India on June 14, Pakistan's teeth have become badly sour. Looking at the performance of the Pakistan team, it does not seem that their yearning of 10 years will not go away this time too.
Now the first question is Women's T20 World Cup 2026 Who has made Pakistan's teeth sour even before facing India? The Scottish team has done that work. Pakistan team has suffered a bad defeat at the hands of Scotland in its first warm-up match of the tournament. Fatima Sana's Pakistani team was defeated by Scotland by 41 runs against Duckworth Lewis in the warm-up match played in Derby on June 9.
In the rain-affected match, Scotland batted first against Pakistan women's team and scored 187 runs for 5 wickets in 20 overs, thanks to the innings of 94 runs by its captain Katherine Bryce. In response, the top four batsmen of Pakistan team returned to the dugout within 50 runs. At the same time, before Pakistan reached 60 runs on the score board, Scotland gave it the fifth blow. After this, it started raining in the match and Pakistan team lost to Duckworth Lewis.
However, Pakistan's defeat at the hands of Scotland in the warm-up match is not surprising. Scotland is the better team. As far as Pakistan is concerned, you will get an idea of how much better it is by looking at its track record in the last two and a half years. Pakistan women's team has won only one T20I series in the last two and a half years, that too against Zimbabwe, which is a newcomer in the women's FTP.
After the start of the main matches of Women's T20 World Cup 2026, Pakistan women's team has to start its campaign against India. Pakistan's 10 years long agony is also linked to that match. Pakistan last defeated India in the Women's T20 World Cup 10 years ago. He defeated India in the 2016 T20 World Cup. So will the wait for Pakistan team's victory end in the 2026 T20 World Cup? Looking at the Pakistan women's team, which has won only 1 match in the last 4 T20 World Cups, it does not seem that they will be able to do this.
