New Zealand women cricket team are in the driver’s seat to a seal a berth in the semifinals of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, when they take on Pakistan in their final Group A match in match No. 19 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Monday (October 14). India women cricket team’s nine-run loss to Australia on Sunday means the equation for the White Ferns is clear – a win for them will be sufficient to enter the last four stage.
Pakistan, on the other hand, can force a three-way tie by stunning New Zealand and ensuring they finish on four points as well like the Kiwis and Team India. If three teams do finish on 4 points after the group stages, then the Net Run-Rate (NRR) will be taken into account. Pakistanis will be boosted by the return of their skipper and all-rounder Fatima Sana, who had flown back home due to the death of her father.
New Zealand will be encouraged with the form displayed by Georgia Plimmer as well as Amelia Kerr – who has been among the runs and also picked up wickets. For skipper Sophie Devine’s side, Rosemary Mair has been 2nd highest wicket-taker in the tournament with six wickets so far.
The two sides have faced each other 11 times in the past with New Zealand winning 9 of those matches while Pakistan have won 2 matches.
#NewZealand will face a strong #Pakistan in the final group A stage game!
Will Pakistan skipper #FatimaSana steal the win tonight creating a chance for #TeamIndia?
