India Women vs UAE Women Key Factors

Pitch Conditions

So far low-scoring matches have been played in Dambulla. The teams batting first have not been able to post big totals. This is because the bowling has been very decisive from the opposition. The India vs Pakistan game was a very good example of how tight India was with the ball. Against UAE, in case they win the toss, they might prefer batting first and post a big total.

Form And Fitness

There are no fitness concerns from both teams. The Indian team especially fielded brilliantly and took some good catches and affected a run out as well against Pakistan.

Tactical Acumen

Harmanpreet Kaur is way more experienced than UAE skipper Esha Rohit Oza. Thus her calls will be very decisive and tactical depending on the opposition. She would be gunning for a big win against the minnows and looking to boost India's NRR.
