India and Pakistan are about to face off in Dubai, in a Group A clash in the Women's Asian Cup, on Saturday evening.
India hasn't put a foot wrong so far in the tournament. They dismantled Thailand by 94 runs in their opener, then turned the screws even harder against Hong Kong, as they won by 137 runs to wrap up their semi-final spot ahead of schedule.
The top two in each group advance, and India has already made sure of that. But finishing as group leaders still matters, and they'll be going full throttle here.
Meanwhile, Pakistan put Thailand away convincingly, and, with a game against Hong Kong still to come, they also have the chance to emerge as group leaders.
That makes this match against India something of a golden chance: beat the group leaders and walk into the knockouts without a single loss on their record and as pool toppers.
