India, Pakistan meet again, minus hysteria and tension
Hindustan Times|February 12, 2023
KOLKATA: Another Sunday. Another ICC World Cup. Another India-Pakistan match. But with a difference. No chest-thumping, no drama, no smashing of television sets, no pledging of revenge for the last defeat. Instead, just a disclaimer of how different this India-Pakistan match is. Because it's for the women. We haven't been here before. And hence this surge of interest.

India, Pakistan meet again, minus hysteria and tension

If a rivalry is defined every time by its last memories, then India-Pakistan in women's cricket won't exactly set your pulse racing. Like the men, the women's team play each other only at ICC or continental tournaments. There is no bilateral history, no context of a friendship series nor a World Cup match coinciding with the Kargil War.

India outmatch Pakistan in almost every aspect. They are more experienced, fitter and easily the stronger batting side.
