India enters the tournament as one of the favorites, with a strong recent record and higher ICC ranking. Their balanced squad, featuring both experienced players and emerging talents, gives them an edge.
Pakistan, despite their recent struggles against England, has individual talents that could pose a challenge. Sidra Amin’s batting and Tuba Hassan’s bowling could be key to their performance.
India’s batting depth, particularly with in-form players like Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues, could be the deciding factor. Their bowling attack, led by Pooja Vastrakar, also looks more potent.
