The 10th edition of the Women's T20 World Cup is going to start in UAE from 3rd October. The Indian team's journey in the tournament will start against New Zealand on October 4. Team India will face Pakistan on 6th October. Last time when both the teams faced each other in this tournament, India had won by 7 wickets. Jemimah Rodriguez had made an important contribution in this. Before the start of the T20 World Cup, he narrated the story of that match, when everyone was telling him to defeat Pakistan at any cost. One watchman even said that 'Whether the World Cup is won or not, you people do not want to lose against Pakistan.'

Jemima was nervous before Pakistan match

India-Pakistan match is very stressful in any sport. That's why players become nerds. Something similar happened with Jemimah Rodriguez during the 2023 World Cup. She was also not in form in the tournament and before the match against Pakistan, everyone was demanding her victory. In such a situation, she became very nervous. To overcome her nervousness she went out for a walk.

The next day when she came to bat, she played a historic innings. Pakistan had set a target of 150 runs. While chasing it, the team lost the first wicket in the sixth over itself. After this Jemima came to bat and led the team to victory by playing an unbeaten inning of 58 runs in 38 balls. However, this time Jemima has been given the responsibility not at number 3 but in the middle order. In such a situation, it remains to be seen how she performs.

What did Jemima say about her role?

Jemima can be seen batting at number 5 in the T20 World Cup to be held in UAE. He described this role he got in the team as quite different and complicated. He believes that batting at number 5 is very different, because every time the situation is different. Sometimes there is a need to make a partnership, while sometimes to maintain the momentum of the team, one has to go for a big hit. That's why she is trying to bat more positive and aggressive than before.

Jemima troubled by finger injury

Jemimah Rodriguez was troubled by her finger injury till a few days ago. However, she was practicing under the supervision of the medical team. It is expected that he will remain fully fit in the tournament. Let us tell you that the Indian team has not yet been able to win the Women's T20 World Cup title. Last time the Indian team came close to the trophy and was out of the tournament. Australia had defeated Australia by 5 runs in a thrilling semi-final match. However, this time captain Harmanpreet Kaur has expressed hope of victory calling it the best team till date.
