India enters Sunday\u2019s match with a net run rate denting 58-run loss to New Zealand, while Pakistan comes in with a satisfying 31-run win over Sri Lanka. The match, to be played on a fresh pitch, is also the 100th T20I game to be played at the venue in Dubai.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Diana had to go off the field after bowling just one ball against Sri Lanka due to a likely calf injury. With her not being fit, Pakistan have drafted in leg-spinner Syeda Aroob Shah into the playing eleven.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe will bat first, put up a total on the board. It's a big blow (of Diana not playing), but we've players who can do well in her absence. We'll try to put up a good total here. I'm excited to lead Pakistan against India,\u201d said Pakistan captain Fatima Sana.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For India, with Pooja having a niggle, hard-hitting all-rounder Sajeevan Sajana comes into the playing eleven. \u201cWe would have batted first as well, but we'll have to bowl well and restrict them. We'll have to move forward with a positive approach, it's always how you bounce back and we've spoken about it. We will go out there and play some positive cricket,\u201d stated skipper Harmanpreet Kaur.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
