Team Form and Performance Overview: NZ-W vs PAK-W
New Zealand Women
In their most recent games, the White Ferns have performed strongly, with Sophie Devine and Amelia Kerr leading the charge. The top order has been in good form, while bowlers like Lea Tahuhu have bowled well in the middle overs. New Zealand will be looking for a strong response in Colombo following a narrow loss earlier in the tournament.
Pakistan Women
The Pakistan Women have been a team that has shown a lot of fight in this tournament. Muneeba Ali has presented some explosive starts, and Nida Dar has made strong contributions with the bat as an all-rounder. However, the team’s middle-order remains a concern. If the bowlers can capitalise on home advantage at R. Premadasa, a Pakistan surprise is possible.
