India are the second favourites to take the World Cup with current odds at 4.50.
Pakistan are way down the pecking order of women’s T20I cricket and lack the firepower to pose a challenge to the well-balanced India side.
Pakistan finished last in the recent tri-series against Ireland and the West Indies.

India beat World Cup contenders South Africa 4-1 in April before losing 2-1 to England just ahead of the World Cup, but they are such a powerful unit they should have little trouble picking up the win over Pakistan.
