Headingley Stadium, Leeds Pitch Report
The Headingly wicket is on the flatter and bouncier end, which favours seam bowlers, before easing up to help batters. Conditions around the stadium permit the teams to bat and score freely, but the danger of the wicket flattening out means that spinners can come into play in the second innings.
IND W vs NED W Head to Head T20I Record
This is the first meeting between the two teams in Women’s T20Is. Thus, the head-to-head record for the two sides in the format stands at nil.

IND W vs NED W Probable Best Performers of the Match
Probable Best Batter: Smriti Mandhana
The mercurial Smriti Mandhana was the best batter for India in their clash against Pakistan. The southpaw scored a well-made 68 off just 44 balls, setting the platform for the innings. Her innings was laced with nine fours and two sixes, as she took on the Pakistan bowlers from the get-go. India would be glad that their key batter was able to start the tournament with runs and that she can continue her form into the tournament.
Probable Best Bowler: Deepti Sharma
Deepti Sharma was the pick of the bowlers for India in their clash against Pakistan, finishing with figures of 5 for 10. With the side incorporating fresh faces, Deepti stands out as the experienced bowler, and her figures from the opening game were an example of her leading from the front as the senior bowler. She was the Player of the Tournament in India’s victorious 2025 ODI World Cup campaign with 22 wickets and will be expected to provide similar performances in India’s quest for their first T20 title.
