India women and Pakistan women will clash swords again -- this time in the biggest game of the Women's Asia Cup final, scheduled for Sunday. The head to head record between the Indian women's cricket team and the Pakistan women's cricket team, this calendar year, is 1-1.
Sunday will decide who gets the bragging rights, going into 2017.
At a time when the fate of bilateral series between the two teams go under major speculation owing to cross-border incidents, these type of matches do come as a huge ray of hope! Mithali Raj's India women took on their arch-rivals first in the ICC Women's World T20 this year and the result of the match was a Pakistan women win owing to the Duckworth-Lewis method.
Just at the end of last month, India played Pakistan in Thailand in the group game of Women's Asia Cup and India women this time edged past Bismah Maroof's women army.
India women made it to the final with perfect 10 points -- 5 wins from 5 games in the competition, while Pakistan women picked up a total of eight points from their five games. Their only loss of the competition came against India.
While Harmanpreet Kaur's India already made it to the final after their victory over Sri Lanka women on December 1, Pakistan women, were confirmed as the other finalist on Saturday, after their five-wicket win over hosts Thailand women.
