PAKW vs NZW Team Previews

Pakistan Women

Pakistan began its campaign in style as they defeated Sri Lanka in their opening fixture. However, things have gone downhill since then and the team has lost two consecutive matches as it heads into this contest.

Now, even if Pakistan wins this match, their qualification will be at the mercy of the outcome of other games.

Barring Nida Dar, none of the batters have been able to have much of an impact on the proceedings. Even Dar has been unable to convert her starts into big knocks. The opening pair of Muneeba Ali and Sidra Ameen has struggled to give the team a strong start.

If Pakistan wants to post a big total, they will need at least one of the openers to play a big inning. On a positive note, Fatima Sana, who missed the previous match, will be available for this game. She is indispensable as an all-rounder but needs to bat higher up the order.

The bowling has been a bit inconsistent as well. Sadia Iqbal is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 5 wickets and will lead the spin department alongside Omaima Sohail and Nashra Sandhu. The other two spinners, Tuba Hassan and Syeda Aroob Shah have gone wicketless.

New Zealand Women

New Zealand scored an emphatic win over Sri Lanka on Saturday, which not only earned them 2 points but also boosted their NRR. However, their job is not yet complete as India, which also has 4 points, has an NRR that is better than theirs.

Georgia Plimmer was in top form on Saturday as she scored a thumping half-century against Sri Lanka. She is looking to establish yet another strong partnership with Suzie Bates. Sophie Devine and Amelia Kerr have been playing consistently well in the middle order.

Such has been the form of the top 4 batters that the others lower down the order including Brooke Halliday, Maddy Green, and Isabella Gaze haven’t had much of a chance to showcase their batting. Leigh Kasperek, who was playing her first game of the tournament on Saturday, bowled a brilliant spell to pick up 2 wickets.

She is likely to retain her place in the spin department alongside Amelia Kerr and Eden Carson. Kerr is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 7 wickets. The pace attack will be led by Rosemary Mair and Lea Tahuhu, who have picked up 9 wickets between them.

PAKW vs NZW Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.

Pitch and Conditions

While Dubai has traditionally hosted quite a few high-scoring encounters, that hasn’t been the case in this tournament. The pitch hasn’t been the easiest to bat on. The average first-inning score here is around 125. The surface is a bit on the slower side and helps the spinners throughout the game.

The batters will need to get to the pitch of the ball if they want to play their shots. The weather is likely to be dry and warm with temperatures of over 33 degrees.

PAKW vs NZW Betting Tips

Barring their loss against Australia, New Zealand has been clinical in their performance in this tournament. The team has done well with both, the bat as well as the ball. On the other hand, Pakistan has struggled to get going and some of its key players are struggling to find form.

Bet on New Zealand Women to win this contest.
