International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the revamped schedule of the upcoming Women’s T20 World Cup on Monday (August 26). The tournament has been moved to the UAE from Bangladesh due to the political unrest in the latter country. Accordingly, arch-rivals India and Pakistan are set to face on October 6 but the timing of the marquee clash has raised many eyebrows.
The much-awaited IND vs PAK encounter will commence at 3:30 PM IST and not in the evening which is considered prime time. Interestingly, the Indian men’s team is also playing on the same day in a T20I against Bangladesh at New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium, Gwalior and that clash is set to get underway at 7 PM IST.
