Women’s Asia T20 2022

Match 8: IN-W vs UAE-W 

Preview 

India Women will play the UAE women in the seventh match of the ongoing Women's Asia T20 on Tuesday, October 4 at the Sylhet Outer Cricket Stadium, Sylhet. India beat Sri Lanka in their opening game to kick off their campaign followed by a victory against Malaysia in their second encounter. After losing their opening encounter to Sri Lanka, UAE will play their second game. 

The team led by Harmanpreet Kaur defeated Sri Lanka with ease. With the exception of the top-order batting, India ticked all the boxes. Shafali Verma's performance is a minor concern for the women in blue. The opening batter hasn't reached the fifty run mark in her last six innings. The middle order has been boosted by Jemimah Rodrigues' return to the squad. Skipper Kaur is in the form of her life, and she will be hoping to continue her excellent run against UAE 

UAE, on the other hand, fought hard against Sri Lanka in their opening match. Their bowling looked potent, with Mahika Guar Dharnidharka being amongst the wickets.
