India have started their ACC Women's Asia Cup T20 2024 campaign on a high as they defeated Pakistan Women's National Cricket Team in the opening match of the group stages. Despite the buildup of it being a high-voltage clash, India have dominated the game like they had in the tie for the last few years. The bowlers were pretty on the money with some shrewd and no-nonsense captaincy from Harmanpreet Kaur to back them. Smiti Mandhana and Shafali Verma also displayed what they can do with the bat and the explosive power Team India carries at the top. Smriti Mandhana Gifts Mobile Phone to Specially-Abled Fan Adeesha Herath After IND-W vs PAK-W Women's Asia Cup T20 2024 Match, Heartwarming Video Goes Viral.

The win in the first match surely makes India a big favourite to win the Asia Cup now. With their next match against UAE, there might be a few rotational changes in the squad. Fans who want to know the likely playing XI of India during the Women's Asia Cup T20 2024 match against UAE will get the entire information here.

Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma are confirmed to retain their spot at the top of the order. Against Pakistan they were absolutely on song, taking apart the bowlers at will. Dayalan Hemalatha came at number three but her place remains uncertain in the playing XI as India won't need much batting depth against UAE. Jemimah Rodrigues might get a promotion at number three with Harmanpreet Kaur, Richa Ghosh, Deepti Sharma and Pooja Vastrakar to value. Shreyanka Patil is likely to retain her spot too as she can be handy with the bat.

Changes might be seen in the bowling lineup. Radha Yadav is likely to retain her place with her ability to contribute in all three departments of batting, bowling and fielding. Renuka Singh has not been consistent as she was in the past with the new ball. She took two wickets in the match against Pakistan but India will want Pooja Vastrakar to get some new ball support upfront. Arundhati Reddy can be the likely replacement. If Hemalatha doesn't play, it will be only fair to include Asha Sobhana, who can devastating against a side low in experience like the UAE.  Thailand Beat Malaysia By 22 Runs in Women's Asia Cup T20 2024: Nannapat Koncharoenkai, Onnicha Kamchomphu Shine As THA-W Kickstart Campaign With Victory.
