Pakistani fast bowler Diana Baig has been advised to rest further and will miss the highly anticipated Pakistan vs India match in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Diana Baig, who sustained a muscle strain during the first over of Pakistan's opening match against Sri Lanka, has been under medical observation. After her latest check-up today, doctors and the team's physio have recommended additional rest, ruling her out of today's crucial encounter.

Baig was forced to leave the field early in the match against Sri Lanka due to the injury and has not been able to fully recover in time. Her absence is a significant blow to Pakistan's bowling attack as they face their arch-rivals, India, in one of the most awaited matches of the tournament.
