Fatima Sana’s crucial knock helps Pakistan set a defendable target

Despite a shaky start, Pakistan managed to put up a competitive total, thanks to a brilliant contribution by captain Fatima Sana. After Pakistan struggled at 32/3, Sana stepped up, scoring a quickfire 30 off 20 balls with three fours and a six. Her aggressive batting helped Pakistan recover from early setbacks, propelling the team to 117, a total that proved too much for Sri Lanka on a sluggish pitch.

Omaima Sohail and Nida Dar stabilize the innings

Following Pakistan’s top-order collapse, Omaima Sohail and Nida Dar played critical roles in stabilizing the innings. Omaima contributed with a patient 18, while Nida added a valuable 23. Their partnership brought much-needed momentum, laying the foundation for Fatima Sana’s late-game heroics.

Sri Lanka’s bowlers shine despite loss

While Sri Lanka couldn’t chase down the target, their spinners, Chamari Athapaththu and Sugandhika Kumari, were outstanding with the ball. Both bowlers took three wickets each, keeping Pakistan under pressure throughout their innings. However, their efforts were not enough, as Sri Lanka fell short in their chase, managing only 85/9 in their 20 overs.

Pakistan’s dominant bowling display, combined with Fatima Sana’s captaincy, made the difference in the match. Sri Lanka will need to regroup and refocus as they face the tough challenge of Australia in their next fixture, while Pakistan prepares for their high-profile clash against India.

Pakistan have had an up-down of a forecast regarding their recent cricketing timeline. Though they have been pleasing in the recent 2024 Women's Asia Cup by reaching the semi-finals, they have failed to convert it into a triumph.

The same applied to their recent performance in the three-match T20 series against South Africa, where they lost 2-1. But, with a young captain and balanced squad, they are eager to win their first Women's T20 World Cup title. That said, here's the Pakistan-announced full squad, their probable XI and their top three players to check out. 

Announced Women's Pakistan 2024 T20 World Cup Full Squad:

Fatima Sana (Captain), Aliya Riaz, Diana Baig, Gull Feroza (Wicketkeeper), Iram Javed, Muneeba Ali (Wicketkeeper), Nashra Sandhu, Nida Dar, Omaima Sohail, Sadaf Shamas, Sadia Iqbal, Sidra Amin, Syeda Aroob Shah, Tasmia Rubab, Tuba Hassan.

Pakistan Probable XI:  

• Muneeba Ali (Wicketkeeper)
• Gull Feroza
• Sidra Amin
• Nida Dar
• Aliya Riaz
• Fatima Sana (Captain)
• Sadaf Shamas
• Sadia Iqbal
• Nashra Sundhu
• Diana Baig
• Tuba Hassan

Top 3 players to check out from Sri Lanka in the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup:

Fatima Sana

Fatima Sana will be taking up the shoes of captaincy from the experienced campaigner, Nida Dar, for the upcoming 2024 Women's T20 World Cup. As a medium-pacer, the 22-year-old can be helpful in scalping some pivotal wickets for the side in the middle and final overs of the game and making some runs, where she can change the game for the side.

Seeing a young-blood player lead a side for the vast tournament would be interesting. In her T20I stint, she has scalped 31 wickets and made 316 runs in 43 matches

Nashra Sandhu

Nashra Sandhu is Pakistan's reliable spinner, recognised for her remarkable control. Nashra's ability to keep pressure on rival teams and deceive the batters throughout the middle overs will be critical to Pakistan's bowling plan.

Given the spin-friendly conditions in the UAE, she has the potential to be one of her team's top wicket-takers. In 62 T20I matches, she has taken 60 wickets with an economy rate of 5.46. 

Muneeba Ali

Muneeba Ali is anticipated to play a crucial role in Pakistan's campaign. She has had glimpses of brilliance in her ability to dominate the powerplay, generating critical starts for her team. Muneeba's aggressive style in the first few overs may offer Pakistan an advantage in setting competitive totals.

Muneeba's ability to establish a strong foundation on the powerplay significantly impacts the team's success. In 73 T20I appearances, she has scored 1261 runs at an average of more than 20, demonstrating her ability to alter the game with the willow.

PAK-W vs UAE-W Match Preview

Pakistan Women kept their hopes of reaching the semi-finals alive with a thumping victory over Nepal Women in the sixth game of the Women’s Asia Cup. They will now face the UAE women in their final group stage game on July 23rd at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla, beginning at 2 p.m. A win over the UAE Women will guarantee Pakistan Women’s semi-final spot, while Nepal will face India Women, with a 0% chance of winning. After losing the opener against India Women, Pakistan maintained their composure in a must-win match. Pakistan Women bowled first and restricted Nepal to 108 runs for the loss of six wickets. Sadia Iqbal took two wickets for 18 runs in her four-over spell. Gull Feroza (57) and Muneeba Ali (46*) combined for 105 runs in 11 overs, helping Pakistan win by 9 wickets in the 12th over.

UAE Women have no chance of winning the game against Pakistan Women.

Openers Gull Feroza and Muneeba Ali (wk) will be the real test for UAE’s bowling unit, and even if they succeed, Sidra Amin at number three should have a big inning.

Topmost Picks for ENG-W vs PAK-W Dream11 Prediction, 19th Match:

Top Picks – England-W

• Nat Sciver-Brunt – The 30-year-old has been the leading run scorer for England-W in recent times. Furthermore, she has also bailed her side out of trouble on a few occasions with her top-class innings of 40(30) and 50(42) which came at a crucial time.

• Sophie Ecclestone – Sophie has by far looked the most threatening bowler in the England-W line-up in recent times. Last year alone, she picked up a total of 25 wickets at a jaw dropping average of just 14.4.

Top Picks – Pakistan-W

• Nashra Sandhu – She has been the pick of the bowlers for Pak-W in this tournament. She has consistently chipped in with regular wickets and dried up the runs during middle overs.

• Bismah Maroof – The skipper has emerged as one the key run getters for Pakistan-W under pressure situations. In the past one year, she has accumulated 433 runs at an impressive average of 25.47.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for ENG-W vs PAK-W Dream11 Team:

Sophia Dunkley, Muneeba Ali, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Bismah Maroof(VC), Heather Knight, Amy Jones, Sidra Ameen, Nida Dar, Sophie Ecclestone(C), Nashra Sandhu, Sarah Glenn

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for ENG-W vs PAK-W Dream11 Team:

Wicketkeeper – Muneeba Ali

ENG-W vs PAK-W 19th Match Probable Winners:

Considering the form of both sides in this year’s world cup edition, an easy win for England-W is surely around the corner. Pakistan-W on the other hand are really under the pump and have their backs firmly against the wall. Besides, securing a win against a formidable England-W side will be a tall order to fill as they are yet to register a single win against them in the shortest format of the game. Considering the team combination, England-W is expected to win this match.

PAK-W vs WI-W, 16th Match Preview

Pakistan Women and West Indies Women go head to head in Paarl on Sunday afternoon in Match 16 of the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup. Pakistan Women recorded a fine win over Ireland Women but were over reliant on the runs of Muneeba Ali. They will be high on confidence but will need to replicate that performance if they are to make it two wins from two. West Indies Women have been struggling with their self-belief, particularly in the batting department. However, Hayley Matthews is a very consistent player who could well win this game on her own again.

Top Picks – Pakistan-W

• Muneeba Ali– the 25 year old took the Player of the Match Award on Wednesday after scoring 102 runs from 68 balls at the top of the order.

• Bismah Mahroof- the skipper failed to hit a boundary in the last game but made a very impressive 68 not out against India Women earlier in the tournament.

Top Picks – West indies-W

• Hayley Matthews- the skipper deserves to be playing for a team with a far stronger record. She took 2-18 before hitting eight fours and a six in her unbeaten innings against Ireland Women on Friday.

• Shamilia Connell- the 30 year old pace bowler dismissed two of Ireland Women’s top three which went a long way to keeping West Indies Women in the match.

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Hayley Matthews, Muneeba Ali

Vice-captain – Nida Dar, Bismah Maroof

Wicketkeeper – Muneeba Ali

PAK-W vs WI-W 16th Match Probable Winners:

This should be an exciting game with both sides still hoping to qualify for the semi-final of the 2022 T20 World Cup. Both sides do not have a great deal of strength in depth but do have match-winners with both bat and ball. Matthews became only the third West Indies Women’s player to hit over 1500 WT20I runs with her match-winning knock on Friday. It is still an outside chance for Pakistan Women and West Indies Women so there should not be too much pressure and both teams should be able to play with a good deal of freedom. Considering the team combination, West indies-W is expected to win this match.

PAK-W vs IRE-W, 10th Match Preview

Match 10 of the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup sees Pakistan Women take on Ireland Women on Monday evening at Newlands. Pakistan Women were beaten by India Women in their opening game on Sunday with Ireland Women losing to England Women on Monday afternoon. Pakistan Women put in a good performance against India Women and posted 149-4 from 20 overs. They will be confident of coming out on top against Ireland Women. Ireland Women had some encouraging moments against England Women and also have a strong record over Pakistan Women from recent games. We expect Ireland Women to be very competitive in this game.

Top Picks – Pakistan-W

PAK-W vs IRE-W 10th Match Probable Winners:

Both teams have some excellent players but struggle to put out an XI full of international quality. Considering the conditions in South Africa, we think that Ireland Women have a slight edge over Pakistan Women. Although both sides lost their opening games, the fact that Pakistan Women and Ireland Women both won the toss and batted first shows that they want to be positive and take the attack to their opponents. The top order batting line-ups will be the key in this game, Pakistan Women have the experience with Ireland Women’s youthful players also delivering. Considering the team combination, Ireland-W is expected to win this match.
