PAKW vs WIW Match Preview
Leading the Pakistan Women's team in this contest is the dynamic Nida Dar, a bowling all-rounder. The opening duo of Ayesha Zafar and Sidra Ameen holds promise, while the team's wicket-keeping duties could be with Gull Feroza, Najiha Alvi, and Muneeba Ali, with the latter likely to secure a spot in the final playing eleven due to her batting prowess. The team boasts a strong lineup of all-rounders.
Some of these all-rounders are Fatima Sana, Bismah Maroof, Aliya Raza, and the skipper Nida Dar. Diana Baig, Nashra Sandhu, Natalia Pervaiz, Sadia Iqbal, Tuba Hassan, and Umm-e-Hani will handle the Pakistan bowling attack. Pakistan Women lost their last game against West Indies Women. This contest was played at a neutral venue way back in February 2023. And guess who was the Player of the Match? It was the West Indies skipper Hayley Matthews for her contribution with the bat and ball.
