The pressure will be on the Indians who have been hit hard by a sudden slump in form of their key batswomen after a comfortable 105-run win against the West Indies in the tournament opener and the inexperienced bowling attack has only compounded the misery for the hosts,\u201d says the report, adding that both India and Pakistan have several issues to address leading up to the game at the Barabati Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>While India has struggled with the indifferent form of its bowlers, Pakistan has a lot to answer in the batting department.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile a report in <strong>The Express Tribune<\/strong> says that with India finishing at the bottom in group A, the traditional rivals will meet at the Barabati Stadium with each trying to avoid the last-place in the tournament. According to Pakistan team manager Ayesha Ashar, the fixture holds a lot of importance for the national side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDefeating India will ensure a positive end,\u201d Ayesha told The Express Tribune from Cuttack. \u201cIt\u2019s a battle that will determine the rankings, so it is very important for us and we will go all-out to overcome them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, she admitted that beating India will not be an easy task.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are one of the best in the business. India started as favourites of the tournament because they have a balanced side. We will have to work very hard and have to show a lot of improvement to beat them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur batting remains a worry. If the batters manage to give an improved show then we\u2019ll stand a good chance to beat India.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sent crashing out of the ICC Women\u2019s World Cup by Sri Lanka, India would seek to restore some pride when it takes on Pakistan in the classification match for seventh and eighth places here on Thursday, says a report in The Hindu, stating that the humiliating 138-run defeat against Sri Lanka also meant that India [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[8028,4610,7930],"class_list":["post-13435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-from-the-newspapers","tag-ayesha-ashar","tag-barabati-stadium","tag-icc-womens-world-cup"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Playing for pride: India and Pakistan to fight it out for seventh and eighth place in ICC Women\u2019s World Cup - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
