Pakistan W team vs New Zealand W team: The match which will decide the fate of Group A at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup

New Delhi: The Pakistan Women’s team and the New Zealand Women’s team are going to play one of the most crucial games in Group A of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. The result of the match can decide which will be the second team to qualify for the second spot in the Semifinals from Group A. Earlier, the Indian women’s cricket team succumbed to a devastating defeat against the 6-time champions, the Australian Women’s Cricket Team.

How will the Dubai pitch behave?

The match between Pakistan Women and New Zealand Women is scheduled to take place in the Dubai International Stadium. Dubai’s pitch has been a batting paradise for both sides with the average first innings total somewhere around 125. Talking about the bowling side, spinners are expected to enjoy slightly more success than pacers. With the weather predicted to be sunny, conditions should favour a high-scoring game.
