# Nature doesn’t care much about high octane clashes. Rain hits Kolkata right in the morning to create a mucky atmosphere. We certainly hope it subsides. Right?

Great run chase by England. Tonight VVS Laxman described Root as one of the v v special players alongside AB, Smith & Virat. #ENGvSA #WT20

# If that wasn’t enough to showcase nature’s level of humour – it snowed last night in Dharamsala. Good thing the match shifted, eh?

ON HIS arrival in Kolkata earlier this week for the World T20, Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi said his side was loved more in India than in Pakistan. It created an uproar back in Pakistan, with former cricketers terming Afridi’s comments as highly offensive. That’s not all.

Pitch Report:

There is an even amount of grass, it's a very hard pitch. There outfield is fast and there should be plenty of runs on offer as well - BY Mel Jones

Toss: Pakistan won the toss and opted to bowl against India in Delhi.

Playing XIs:

India Women: Mithali Raj (C), Vellaswamy Vanitha, Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, Veda Krishnamurthy, Anuja Patil, Jhulan Goswami, Shikha Pandey, Sushma Verma (WK), Poonam Yadav, Rajeshwari Gayakwad

Pakistan Women: Sidra Ameen, Nahida Khan, Bismah Maroof, Muneeba Ali, Iram Javed, Asmavia Iqbal, Sana Mir (C), Nida Dar, Sidra Nawaz (WK), Anam Amin, Sadia Yousuf

Brief Preview: The Indo-Pak rivalry will not just be limited to the men on Saturday in the ICC World Twenty20 as the women's teams from both the countries will also square off in a low-on-hype contest where the hosts will start firm favourites.

The in-form Indian women's team and Pakistan will clash at the Ferozshah Kotla ground in their second Group B ICC World Twenty20 match, a few hours before their male counterparts lock horns in Kolkata.

With a dominating 5-1 record against Pakistan in T20Is and on the back of a thumping win in their tournament opener against Bangladesh, the Mithali Raj-led women's team will definitely start favourites in the Group B fixture.
