The fiercest rivalry in international cricket will resume on September 5 when India and Pakistan face each other in a Group A clash at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, as part of the 2026 Women's T20 Asia Cup.

Pakistan are looking to turn the screw after successive wins over their arch rivals, but Harmanpreet Kaur and her teammates will be eager to extend their record over their neighbours. India come into this contest with positive momentum after posting a stunning 64-run win over Pakistan in their last meeting during the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup in Birmingham, a match featuring a brilliant 68 from Smriti Mandhana and a 5/10 spell from Deepti Sharma.
