AUS-W vs PAK-W Women T20 Commonwealth Games Preview:-
Match: AUS-W vs PAK-W T20 Match Prediction
Time: 03 Aug, 03:30 PM (IST)
Series: Women T20 Commonwealth Games
Venue: Edgbaston Cricket Ground – Edgbaston, England
Info:
Meg Lanning averages an impressive 37.22 in this format and she is our pick for Australia Women’s highest run scorer against Pakistan Women. Alana King took 4-8 from four overs on this pitch against Pakistan Women and she is our tip for Australia Women’s top wicket taker in this match.
Bismah Maroof has scored 11 half-centuries in WT20Is and we are backing the skipper to be Pakistan Women’s highest run scorer in this game. With the ball, Diana Baig is always hard to get away as a batter. She should be able to get movement with the new ball and we expect her to be Pakistan Women’s top wicket taker against Australia Women.
Australia Women will look to dominate from the first ball with the bat. We recommend backing over 2.5 match sixes in this fixture.

Team News:
AUS-W Team News:
Although Australia Women have already qualified for the semi-final stage, they are not the type of team to devalue a game by selecting a weakened side. They have picked the same XI for both of their matches so far and, with no player unavailability, we expect an unchanged team.
PAK-W Team News:
There was one change to the Pakistan Women XI ahead of their defeat to India Women with all-rounder Nida Dar forced to miss the game through concussion. She was a big loss after making a half-century against Barbados Women. We expect Dar to miss this game also and for Kainat Imtiaz to keep her spot in the team.

Winning Chances:
Who will win today’s match: AUS-W vs PAK-W Women T20 Match Fantasy Team
Australia Women will be determined to put in a big performance against Pakistan Women after their two meetings in the Ireland Tri-Nation Series were ended by the weather. So far, Pakistan Women have been the weakest side in this competition and we are predicting a comprehensive win for Australia Women.
Final Verdict
Australia Women are favourites to beat Pakistan Women
AUS-W Key Players:
Meg Lanning:
The captain made short work of the target set by Barbados Women on Sunday. She struck five fours and two sixes at Edgbaston in the game.
Ashleigh Gardner:
The all-rounder has shown her importance to this team with valuable contributions in both games in Birmingham. She hit an unbeaten half-century against India Women and took 2-6 against Barbados Women.
Alana King:
The leg-spinner was Australia Women’s star performer during the Ireland Tri-Nation Series and was way too good for Barbados Women. This Edgbaston pitch is very responsive to her bowling.
PAK-W Key Players:
Bismah Maroof:
The captain delivered a patient innings of 17 runs from 19 balls against India Women. However, her team will need her to plunder some boundaries in this match.
Muneeba Ali:
The keeper-batter top scored for Pakistan Women in the clash against India Women and scored at a strike of 106.67 on the Edgbaston pitch.
Diana Baig:
The opening bowler was treated with respect by the India Women’s side who recognised her quality. She is a consistent bowler who should get assistance from the conditions.
Team Form:
AUS-W Team Form:
Australia Women are the team to beat in any format. They have won each of their last seven games in WT20I cricket.
PAK-W Team Form:
Pakistan Women have lost successive games in the tournament and continue to struggle against the top sides in women’s cricket.
SQUAD:
Australia Women:
Meg Lanning (c), Rachael Haynes, Darcie Brown, Nicola Carey, Ashleigh Gardner, Grace Harris, Alyssa Healy, Jess Jonassen, Alana King, Tahlia McGrath, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Amanda Wellington.
Pakistan Women:
Bismah Maroof (c), Aiman Anwer, Aliya Riaz, Anam Amin, Ayesha Naseem, Diana Baig, Fatima Sana, Gull Feroza, Iram Javed, Kainat Imtiaz, Muneeba Ali, Nida Dar, Omaima Sohail, Sadia Iqbal, Tuba Hassan.
