New Zealand-W vs Pakistan-W Match Prediction, Fantasy Tips, Pitch Report, and Predicted XI for the Women’s T20 World Cup

The 19th match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will be played on October 14, 2024, between New Zealand Women and Pakistan Women at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, United Arab Emirates.

New Zealand Women: The Frontrunners

New Zealand is in a prime position to secure the second spot in the semifinals. A win against Pakistan would guarantee their place in the next round, which makes them the frontrunners in this high-stakes clash. However, the White Ferns will rue letting it come down to this, especially after they started the tournament with a resounding 58-run win over India in Dubai. Despite that strong start, a damaging 60-run loss to Australia hampered their net run rate, which is why they now find themselves in a must-win situation.

What New Zealand Needs to Do to Qualify

The equation for New Zealand is simple: win against Pakistan, and they’re through to the semifinals. However, a loss would open the door for India to claim the second spot, which makes this game crucial for the White Ferns.

Pakistan Women: The Unpredictable Underdogs

Pakistan’s path to the semifinals is far from straightforward, but their unpredictable nature makes them a dangerous opponent. For Pakistan to overtake both India and New Zealand, they must beat the White Ferns by more than 53 runs or chase down a target with more than 9.1 overs to spare. This is no easy task, but if there’s one team known for pulling off miraculous victories, it’s Pakistan.

Pakistan’s Qualification Scenario

For Pakistan to qualify:

  1. They need to defeat New Zealand by more than 53 runs if they bat first.
  2. Alternatively, if they bowl first, they must chase the target with more than 9.1 overs remaining.

If Pakistan achieves either of these scenarios, they will knock both India and New Zealand out of the tournament, claiming the second semifinal spot.

New Zealand-W vs Pakistan-W Pitch Report:

The pitches in Dubai have been more favorable for batting, offering better pace and bounce. However, spin will still be crucial, especially as the pitches wear out. Expect hot weather during the game, with clear skies and temperatures around 32°C. Compared to Sharjah, the Dubai wicket is more conducive to batting, but spinners have been pivotal in deciding matches. A score of 140 or more could be a winning total for the team defending it.
