So india pakistan is on prime Sunday slot despite Pakistan being a minnow in women cricket?

 

Shameless 

 

All the Star Sports ads are trying to bill it as the next big rivalry. Anything to attract the maximum eyeballs and profit from it.

Exactly, sheer stupidity. People who will fal for those ads will not be the ones who watch women cricket anyways

We get some free point 

So we wont get points if we play them on Monday instead of Sunday?

Aus-RSA

RSA-Ind

Ind-Aus

Eng-NZ

NZ-WI

WI-Eng

 

These are the contests you want to see on Sunday primetime. Not #8 Pak who even finished below SL, BD in the ODI WC last year. What pull can such a minnow team have? 

[Gollum]

RSA did upset Aus in the T20 WC SF last edition.

 

Also hammered us in the T20I series just a month back. 

 

Count them out at your own peril. They may have failed yesterday (Aussies can do that to anyone), but they have a very well balanced team, even Ismail is back.

Guys, did you watch the Indo-Pak match in last year's WC? I just checked the score on CB, was much more invested in the game against Lanka who had us in a world of bother in 1st innings.

They exist because it's an India pakistan match. Nothing because of anything cricket related. 

[bsriharsha]

Pakistan cricket will cease to be relevant if ICC decides to not keep India and Pakistan in the same group.

It was a slow pitch and Richa Ghosh's quick 30 runs got us close to 250 in the end.

 

Sidra Amin scored more the 50% of the runs and was the top scorer for Pakistan. Without her innings Pakistan would have been all out before crossing 100 runs.

I get absolutely no pleasure in our women team defeating them. They are so far beneath us, its like enjoying india defeat Canada in 2003

fair enough i actually agree with you somewhat that they are on a much lower level but i still just find it fun to watch india beat them no matter what the rankings say

India opted to bat. Fulmali Bharati in the team.

Shafali what a stupid dismissal.  IN the name of showing intent  gave her intentions away too soon. Got out.
