India face arch-rivals Pakistan hoping to keep their semi-final hopes alive with a big win two days after suffering a 58-run thrashing at the hands of New Zealand in their tournament opener.

It's India vs Pakistan. That on most days is enough to grab attention. The fact that it is a must-win ICC Women's T20 World Cup Group A fixture adds to the significance of this particular fixture. India simply cannot afford another hiccup following their defeat to New Zealand in their tournament opener.

India enjoy a healthy 5-2 head-to-head record against Pakistan in the Women’s T20 World Cups. But on Sunday, things will be different for India as a big-margin win will boost up their Net Run Rate (NRR). India have an NRR of -2.9 while Pakistan, sitting on third with a win, have +1.55.
