The stage is set for the high-voltage game of the Women's T20 World Cup 2026, which will be played between arch-rivals India and Pakistan on Sunday at the Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham

Smriti Mandhana

Team India's star batswoman, Smriti Mandhana, will be the top player to watch out for.

So far, Mandhana has played 10 T20I matches against Pakistan and has scored 239 runs

Harmanpreet Kaur

Team India's skipper, Harmanpreet Kaur, comes second on the list. Having made her appearance in 15 T20I matches against Pakistan, she has not delivered a big knock. In 15 games, Kaur has amassed 194 runs, with a top score of an unbeaten 34 runs. The right-handed batswoman will look to improve her number against Pakistan

Fatima Sana

Pakistan's captain, Fatima Sana, had an injury scare during the team's practice session on Saturday afternoon ahead of the clash against Team India. It will be interesting to see if she manages to put on a strong show in the high-octane game against the "Women in Blue"

Nashra Sandhu

Spinner Nashra Sandhu will be the top player to watch out for from Pakistan's dugout. Her contributions will be crucial for the team in the middle overs, and she will be expected to control the flow of runs.
