India and Pakistan are clashing against each other in the 7th match of the ongoing Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. India lost their opener against New Zealand while the Pakistan team registered to win their first game of the tournament. However, the pressure would be same on both teams as they are known to be arch-rivals of the game.

Meanwhile, India’s ace pacer Renuka Singh Thakur provided India an early breakthrough as she cleaned up Pakistan’s opener Gull Feroza on the 6th ball of the first over. Renuka, who is known to swing the ball both ways, came up with an unplayable inswinger to get rid of Feroza and gave India a fine start.
