Colombo: It is the fourth consecutive Sunday of a Cricket Meeting of Pakistan-India; The only difference is that the warm and arid climate of Dubai has been replaced by the humid and rainy climate of Colombo and, of course, the genre of the players in the field.
However, the differences are faster once a person begins to retreat the surface of the female game in both countries.
On the one hand, we have border players who have opportunities such as the Available Women’s Premier League, where compensation reaches more than $ 400,000 for better paid players.
On the other hand, except for some players on the national side and those who reach the final lists of a handful of Cricket Leagues worldwide: the monthly retaineers of the Crickt players of Pakistani women were even less than the minimum wage obliged to the government this year.
To say that the Gulf in resources available for both teams is great would be a euphemism of the century.
In addition, in another family scenario at the beginning of a CPI tournament, the Indian team is entering the meeting with a victory against Coanffitrions Sri Lanka, while Pakistan has lost to Bangladesh in his initial meeting, a side that they had easily expired in the qualifiers in April.
However, Pakistan’s patron was at his best habitual Jovial moment at the press conference prior to the match on Saturday, apparently leaving behind the result of the last game.
Before all the talks on the issue of handshakes in the meetings of the male Asia Cup last month, he made it clear that his team’s approach was only in the Crick.
“Obviously, our main objective is to play, and when we come here, our approach is only in the game … what comes in the spirit of the game, we try to maintain that,” Fatima said.
He also touched the moments of camaraderie between the two parties, such as the last World Cup match in New Zealand, where Indian players had played playfully with the newborn baby of Bismah Marof, Fatima.
The Indian pattern, Kaur, however, could not take a take since Indian management decided to send the bowling coach Aavishkar Salvi to the prester prior to the party.
When asked about the bitterness of the meetings of the men who interrupt the relationships of the players here too, Salvi never had the opportunity to answer, since the question was considered too political for the presser.
Pakistan’s possibilities to reach the next stage could have been hindered by the result of Saturday in Colombo, where a rained accessory meant that both Sri Lanka and Australia shared one point each.
This would make Fatima’s goal to end in the top four more difficult, since the additional point Sri Lanka obtained in this match could be the difference between making the cut or not.
The square, which has remained under the covers throughout the day with spilled rain means that the pacemakers on both sides will be raised to go early in the entrances.
The bowling players to keep in account would be Diana Baig in Pakistan, who enters the encounter with a rhythm of decent bowling, and the Indian Sneh Rana, who is the second highest wickt player in Odi this year.
“Everyone knows that she is one of our best players. It is a good bowling play and also a very good gardener. Therefore, she definitely drives our team too,” Fatima said about Diana’s encouraging performance in the initial match.
Echoing his comments after the loss of Bangladesh, Fatima said that the launch or conditions would not be so important since the field remained the same for both sides at all times.
“The launch does not matter much; all we have to do is play a good Crick after evaluating the conditions.”
With the rain also predicted for Sunday, there is a ray of hope for green shirts, since a torn encounter or one reduced by the downpour could tip the probabilities in his favor.
His record against India in 11 -day internationals is not very enviable, never winning a draw, but in T20is, there is still a better record of what to boast.
The women’s team has defeated India three times in the format, with their first victory in a World Cup that returns in 2012, nine years before the male team achieved that feat.
Speaking about Odi’s record, the Pakistani pattern said: “The records are destined to break, we will not go in a past record, but we will take the game in the day and try to execute our plans.”
Fatima and Co. He would have to channel his best moment in the field to add another victory to that count, and perhaps the rain clouds in the capital of Sri Lanka could have a positive side for women in green.
