Report on Pitch and Profile of Venue
The Women’s T20 World Cup this year is in the United Arab Emirates having been shifted from Bangladesh due to social inclinations.
Bangladesh will still legally retain the host country of the series; all matches will be staged at Sharjah Cricket Stadium or Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
The fast track in Dubai has been more of a batting wicket with a little turn offered to the spinners as the match progresses, so the management of bowlers becomes extremely essential.

India, who are placed in Group A with cricketing giants like Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka will be keen to get off the mark with a victory.
Veteran skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, an experienced player and a destructive big hitter, will once again be eyeing the leadership role.
Starting with Smriti Mandhana and Shefali Verma, India has a strong line-up for potential explosiveness that can otherwise bend any team to its knees.
However, the inclusion of the experienced Deepti Sharma and Richa Ghosh has a lot of all rounded options in the batting and bowling department for India.
India is a relatively better side in ICC, admittedly; the side has never won a trophy they have claimed the runners-up position in the T20s Women’s World Cup held in Australia last year and the previous year’s 50-over World Cups held in India and England.
This time around, the team is confident in an attempt to do away with the jinx and win an ICC trophy.
New Zealand: A Tough Opponent
New Zealand, backed by the energetic Sophie Devine, has previously experienced pressure in ICC tournaments.
The New Zealand cricket team is a combination of talent and experience of some older players and hope in juniors that make the team a potential upsetter of any team in the world.
They have more all-round field players that can change a match up with bat and ball such as Amelia Kerr and Suzie Bates.
Though India has enjoyed a better record against New Zealand in the past, the Kiwis have a different temperament altogether when it comes to World Cup cricket.
These two sides will come to the field sharply in Group A with the Australian side, who are the champions and poles apart favorites for the title.
Streaming Link and Complete List
The India vs New Zealand clash is scheduled for October 4, 2024, at 7:ends at 30 pm IST and will be held at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Viewers can watch this game live through the major television networks, which will be airing sports events.
The match is just among the many more spectacular games planned in this year’s world cup.
Altogether, ten teams formed into two groups will take part in 23 games starting from October 3 through October 20. The winners of each of the groups will qualify for the finals.
The final match is planned to take place on October 20, so the winner of this great tournament is the focus of attention.
For Indian fans, the scheduled India-Pakistan clash on October 6 is the second one, and they look forward to such matches.
