ENGW vs PAKW Team Previews
England Women
England has made a couple of changes to the squad that won the T20 series and trimmed the size down to just 12 players.
Tammy Beaumont makes a comeback in the squad and will be a second Wicket-keeper alongside Amy Jones. Kate Cross also joins the team adding firepower to an already strong seam attack. She will be joined by Lauren Bell, Lauren Filer, and all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt.
Sarah Glenn, who was the leading wicket-taker of the T20 series retains her place along with Sophie Ecclestone, Charlotte Dean, and Heather Knight.
The latter will be leading the team for this series. Maia Bouchier put up some brilliant performances on the recent tour to New Zealand and will almost certainly play in the top order alongside Danielle Wyatt and Alice Capsey.
England Women Playing 11
Maia Bouchier, Tammy Beaumont, Heather Knight, Natalie Sciver, Alice Capsey, Amy Jones, Charlie Dean, Sophie Ecclestone, Sarah Glenn, Kate Cross, Lauren Bell.
Pakistan Women
Pakistan hasn’t been in the best of forms of late. The team has suffered back-to-back ODI series defeats at the hands of New Zealand and West Indies and will be desperate to turn things around.
The team has the same squad that played in the T20 series but will hope for a better outcome from them. Gull Feroza and Sidra Ameen will likely open the batting for Pakistan in this match. The duo got some good starts in the shorter format but at least one of them will need to play a big knock if the visitors want to put some pressure on the opposition.
There are some experienced campaigners in the middle order too like Sadaf Shamas, Aaliya Riyaz, and Muneeba Ali but the key player remains skipper Nida Dar. While she didn’t get to do much with the bat in the T20 series, she was the leading wicket-taker for the team with 5 wickets.
She will lead the spin attack alongside Sadia Iqbal while Diana Baig, Waheeda Akhtar, and Fatima Sana will feature in the seam department.
Pakistan Women Playing 11
Nida Dar, Aliya Riaz, Ayesha Zafar, Diana Baig, Fatima Sana, Muneeba Ali, Najiha Alvi, Nashra Sandhu, Sadaf Shamas, Sidra Ameen, Umme Hani.
