ICC Women’s T20 World Cup New Zealand vs Pakistan Match Preview

Match number 19 of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup is between the Group A teams, New Zealand and Pakistan, which will be played on Monday, October 14, 2024, i.e. today. The venue where this highly anticipated tournament game will be played is Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The ground umpires for New Zealand vs Pakistan are Nimali Perera and Vrinda Rathi. Lauren Agenbag is the TV umpire while Sue Redfern is the reserve umpire. GS Lakshmi is the match referee.

In the recent match, Australia beat India, simplifying the equation for New Zealand to qualify for the semi-finals as they just need to win the game. The confidence of New Zealand must have been boosted following Australia’s triumph over India. Georgia Plimmer and Amelia Kerr will be the players in focus for New Zealand. All we know is that it is not going to be so easy for New Zealand as they are facing Pakistan in today’s game. Pakistan started their campaign with a triumph over Sri Lanka but it slumped to defeats against Australia and India. On the other hand, New Zealand lost only one game against Australia.

Pakistani skipper Fatima Sana who just recently lost her father, will be available for this match. The team must be buoyed by her return to the squad. However, the strike bowler of the team Diana Baig has been ruled out of the tournament due to a calf injury. One more change we can see in Pakistan’s playing XI is that Najiha Alvi who replaced Fatima Sana in the last game, might make way for the skipper.
