India allrounder Deepti Sharma says the team has usually been “one step ahead” of Pakistan in recent meetings and expects that to continue in their upcoming Women’s Asia Cup clash. She makes the remark ahead of the match between the two sides.
Both NDTV and India Today report Deepti’s comment in the same context: it is presented as part of India’s pre-game messaging before facing Pakistan in the tournament. The coverage focuses on her confidence about India’s relative edge in prior encounters, without adding further specifics about match conditions, squad changes, or detailed head-to-head statistics.
Across the two outlets, the angle is aligned: both highlight Deepti Sharma’s characterization of past contests and her expectation for the next meeting. Neither source introduces a contrasting interpretation or disputes the broader claim, and both treat the statement as a general outlook for the upcoming fixture.
