Team Form and Performance Overview
New Zealand Women
The White Ferns have been impressive, especially with their seasoned players stepping up at crucial times. Sophie Devine’s captaincy and Suzie Bates and Amelia Kerr’s form have been vital to their campaign.
Their top order has been aggressive in the powerplay, their pace bowlers Lea Tahuhu and Jess Kerr have taken wickets at the start of the innings, and New Zealand will be determined to exploit Pakistan’s vulnerabilities in the middle order of their batting line-up.
Pakistan Women
Pakistan Women have offered some bright spots but continue to be inconsistent. Nida Dar and Sidra Ameen have been the best performers, while Fatima Sana has been excellent with the bat and the ball.
Their middle order is still under pressure, and a significant weakness has been turning starts into big scores. For the Pakistan Women to overcome a highly-performing New Zealand side, they will need to deliver a complete team performance in both the batting and bowling departments.
