Pakistan Women Preview

Pakistan never really got the momentum going in their batting as 3 of the top 4 batters were dismissed for single digit scores. Muneeba Ali (21 runs), Kainat Imtiaz (24 runs), Ayesha Naseem (31 runs), and Nida Dar (22 runs) played good cameos but failed to make a big score to help their post a massive total.  

Aiwan Anwer picked up 2 wickets and was the only bowler to claim wickets in the last match. Diana Baig, Aliya Riaz, and Nida Dar bowled economically and had combined bowling figures of 10-0-51-0 in the match. Their bowlers were left to defend a very small target of 124 runs and were unable to pressure the opposition with the scoring rate.

Top players to bet on:

Nida Dar – Dar scored 22 runs off 15 balls to finish the match with a flourish and had bowling figures of 4-0-22-0 in the match. We expect her to continue her all-round performances in this match too.    

Ayesha Naseem – Naseem scored 31 runs off 25 balls and tried to rebuild their innings from 76/5 and complete their innings at 124/8 in the 20 overs. She will look to bat a little higher and score more runs in this match.  

Pakistan Women Predicted Playing XI:

Nahida Khan, Ayesha Zafar, Muneeba Ali (wk), Omaima Sohail, Nida Dar, Aliya Riaz (c), Diana Baig, Aiman Anwer, Anam Amin, Kainat Imtiaz, Ayesha Naseem
