PAKW vs NEPW Team Previews
Pakistan Women
Pakistan will be very disappointed with the way they played in their opening fixture. While not many expected them to win, the team meekly surrendered against arch-rivals India, which not only cost them 2 points but also left a big dent in their NRR. Pakistan must win this match if they want to keep their qualification hopes alive.
It was yet again a poor batting performance from Pakistan as they got bundled out for a mere 108 runs. Sidra Ameen continues to be the key batter for the team as she top-scored with 25 runs. However, the other top-order players including Gull Feroza and Aliya Riaz continue to struggle.
As a result, there will be added pressure on Nida Dar and Muneeba Ali to score runs. The team does have a capable all-rounder in the form of Nida Dar, who can play some big shots in the death overs. The spin bowlers did a decent job in the match against India with Nashra Sandhu and Syeda Aroob Shah picking up 3 wickets between them.
They will be joined by Sadia Iqbal and Tuba Hassan, while Nashra Sandhu remains the only full-time seamer in the team.
Pakistan Women Playing 11
Gull Feroza, Muneeba Ali, Sidra Ameen, Omaima Sohail, Aliya Riaz, Nida Dar, Fatima Sana, Syeda Aroob Shah, Tuba Hassan, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal.
Nepal
Nepal made a winning start to its Asia Cup campaign as it upset the favorites UAE in the inaugural match. <br /> Nepal has quite a few quality batters at their disposal.
Skipper Indu Barma is known for her explosive brand of batting, while Sita Magar is a consistent performer at the top of the order. Samjhana Khadka scored a brilliant half-century in the last match and helped the team coast to a win as they chased a modest target.
Rubina Chhetry is another batter to watch out for in the Nepal team. She is the most experienced player in the squad and has scored 751 runs in her career. Coming to the bowling, Nepal's attack is pace-heavy and that could cost them a bit in this match, as the pitch tends to favor the spinners more.
Nevertheless, they did bowl well in the last match, with Indu Berma being the leading wicket-taker with 3 wickets.
Nepal Playing 11
Samjhana Khadka, Sita Magar, Kabita Kunwar, Indu Barma, Rubina Chhetry, Puja Mahato, Kajal Shrestha, Roma Thapa, Bindu Rawal, Kabita Joshi, Kritika Marasini.

Pakistan has some strong batters playing for them. While some of them aren’t in the best of forms, we expect at least one of them to play a big knock as they face a mediocre bowling attack from Nepal.
