Amit Mishra’s Take
The quality of women’s cricket has improved significantly. The number of games, along with the competitive nature of the tournament, has made the matches watch-worthy.
Meanwhile, India vs Pakistan is always a classic, and amidst the war between the two countries, the game will be even more dramatic. India might be strong, but Pakistan always has a surprise or two up its sleeve. It will be key to see who holds their head high.
