PAKW vs SLW Match Prediction & Analysis
With the tournament beginning earlier in the day, and this match not featuring the strongest teams in the group, the pressure will be off both sides in this game. However, if both want to in anyway push India Women and Australia Women for a top two place then winning this game is a must!
This will be the fifth time the teams have met in this format over the last two years but Pakistan Women have claimed only one win across those games and it will be Sri Lanka Women who come into the fixture with the most confidence.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Pakistan Preview
Coming into this tournament in poor form, and without a real world class player, Pakistan Women will be realistic about their ambitions in this tournament and anything above a bottom of the table finish in Group A could be construed as a success!
Sri Lanka Preview
With both Australia Women and India Women also in Group A, Sri Lanka Women are realistic enough to know that it would take a major upset or even a minor miracle for them to finish in the top two and advance to the semi-final. However, they certainly have as good a shot at a top three spot and victory in this match will be crucial to doing so.
Weather Conditions
Humidity levels will increase across this game but they should not reach any higher than 60%. No rain is forecast throughout the match but the temperature will be above 30 degrees from start to finish.
PAKW vs SLW Pitch Report
The Sharjah Cricket Stadium hosts its fair share of international games nowadays but this will be the first WT20I at the venue since November 2017. There will be some turn for the spinners but predominantly this pitch will be one which assists the seam and quick bowlers on both sides. Whoever bats first should consider themselves in the game with a total of 135+.
Toss: To Bat
The last three and six of the last seven T20I matches at this venue have been won by the team batting first so it would be a huge shock if both captains did not go out for the toss planning to bat first ahead of this match on Thursday afternoon.
