The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 is set for its biggest showdown as arch‑rivals India and Pakistan prepare to launch their campaigns on Sunday, June 14, at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
India have historically dominated Pakistan with a 13-3 head-to-head record in T20Is overall, but Pakistan have proven capable of upsetting the Women in Blue on the world stage, having beaten them twice in previous editions of the tournament.
Pakistan’s first victory came in the 2012 edition in Sri Lanka. After being restricted to just 98 runs, Pakistan staged a remarkable comeback, limiting India to 97 for eight to clinch a thrilling one‑run win. Bowling allrounder Nida Dar starred with a three‑wicket haul and was named Player of the Match (POTM).
Their second triumph arrived in the 2016 edition, when Pakistan successfully chased down a modest target of 76 in a rain‑affected contest, winning by two runs under the DLS method.
Heading into this clash, Pakistan are ranked eighth in the ICC Women’s T20I team rankings, while India sit at third, setting the stage for a high‑stakes encounter between two sides with contrasting records but plenty of history.

Players to watch out for in IND-W vs PAK-W
Shree Charani
Shree Charani has emerged as an excellent wicket-taking option for the Women in Blue lately. The slow left-arm orthodox bowler has impeccable control over her line and length and can be dangerous for batters looking to go after her.
Richa Ghosh
Richa Ghosh is arguably the cleanest striker of the cricket ball in the Indian camp right now. The right-hander scored 68 off just 36 balls at a scintillating strike rate of 188.88 against England in the last warm-up game. She can take the game away from Pakistan if she stays at the crease for just a few overs.
