India Women vs Pakistan Women Match Prediction | Women’s Asia Cup 2026
Based on their recent performance, squad depth and head-to-head record, India start as the stronger of the two sides. Their 94-run win against Thailand showed how the team can be a force with both bat and ball. The aggressive batting of Shafali Verma and the experience of Deepti Sharma provide India great match-winning options.
But Pakistan is not to be underestimated. A 35-run win over Thailand proved that their bowling unit could defend a low total, with Tahlia McGrath backing up her two wickets with some fine lower-order hitting. The other bright spots from the opening match were Sadia Iqbal picking up three wickets and Muneeba Ali scoring a half-century.
Prediction
India Women are the favourites to win the India Women vs Pakistan Women match, but Pakistan have enough quality in their bowling attack to make the contest competitive.
Predicted winner: India Women
