In Birmingham: 2026 T20 World Cup (T20 World Cup 2026) two battles, India and Pakistan (India vs Pakistan) are facing at the beginning of the campaign. Before this mega match, the captains of two countries - Harmanpreet Kaur and Pakistan's Fatima Sana appeared in the regular press conference. Ahead of the high-voltage match, it was to be expected that the diplomatic relations between the two countries would be questioned.
However, the captains of the two countries, Suryakumar Yadav and Salman Ali Agha, did not shake hands during the India vs Pakistan match during the Men's Twenty20 World Cup earlier this year. The same scene can be seen today in Birmingham? Harman is careful after hearing this question.
This bouncer was carefully avoided. Harman said at the press conference, "We are here to play cricket and we will talk about cricket. We are not thinking about anything other than the game.
Tomorrow's match is just an ordinary match for us. However, there will be pressure when playing against Pakistan. But we enjoy the pressure.
Our aim is to give 100% on the field." After winning the ODI format last year, the Indian women's cricket team is aiming to taste the trophy at the T20 World Cup stage as well. Regarding this, the Indian captain said, "When I was a child watching the game as a fan, I still felt this pressure. Now that I am playing myself, the pressure is more.
But since we are getting a chance to play for the country on such a big stage, we are lucky. So we want to remove this pressure and play well." The women's teams of the two countries have played 16 matches against each other. Harmanpreeta won 13 matches.
Pakistan won 3 matches. The two teams have met 8 times in T20 World Cup as well. India lead 6-2.
Indian men's team has won the World Cup three times, but Indian women's team has never tasted a trophy. Everyone will be watching whether the Harmons can add another ICC trophy to their cabinet this time.
