PAKW vs RSAW Match Preview
Pakistan has implemented several alterations to the team that encountered a distressing T20 World Cup campaign. The likes of Tuba Hassan, Sidra Nawaz, Ayesha Naseem, Javeria Khan, and Aiman Anwar have been omitted from the squad. Sadaf Shamas and Muneeba Ali are anticipated to commence the batting, while the captain Nida Dar and Sidra Ameen will provide stability to the middle order.
Shawaal Zulfiqar and Najiha Alvi are expected to make their debut in the international arena during this series. The pace attack has been reinforced with the return of Daina Baig, who will partner with Fatima Sana in the new-ball attack. Syeda Aroob Shah and Umm-e-Hani have also been recalled and will join Nashra Sandhu and Sadia Iqbal in the spin department.
Following the unexpected resignation of Sune Luus from her position as captain, the South African team shall henceforth be led by Laura Wolvaardt. It is anticipated that she will assume the role of opening batsman alongside Tazmin Brits. With the inclusion of Lara Goodall and Sinalo Jafta in the middle order, the visiting team shall endeavor to commence the match with a swift start.
Nevertheless, the team's most notable asset lies in its all-rounders, which include Marizanne Kapp, Nadine de Klerk, Sune Luus, and Anneke Bosch. Ayabonga Khaka and Masabata Klaas shall spearhead the seam attack, while Nonkululeko Mlaba shall lead the spin attack.
Weather Report
The weather is expected to remain warm and humid.
Pitch Report
The pitch in Karachi is good to bat on. There is very little grass on the pitch and the ball will come nicely onto the bat. The seamers will need to be disciplined with their line and length. The team batting first will look to score over 250 runs. The spinners will find some purchase from the surface and we can expect a good amount of turn, especially in the second innig.
