Australia vs Pakistan: Team Preview

AUS-W:

Australia women's team has been unbeatable so far in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 and is at the top position in the points table of Group A. They have achieved impressive victories in both of their matches. The opening pair of Beth Mooney and Alyssa Healy have given good starts to the team in both the matches, with Mooney especially scoring 83 runs in two innings. The middle order has experienced players like Ashleigh Gardner, Ellyse Perry, and Phoebe Litchfield, who have strengthened the team.

In bowling, Megan Schutt has been one of the top wicket-takers of the tournament so far. She bowled brilliantly in both the matches and took 6 wickets. The spin trio of Sophie Molineux, Ashleigh Gardner, and Georgia Wareham can also prove dangerous on this pitch.

• Recent Form: W, W, W, W, W
• Key Players: Sophie Molineux, Ashleigh Gardner, Ellyse Perry

PAK-W:

Pakistan women's team had made a great start against Sri Lanka, but after the defeat against India, their position has become weak. Losing in this match will almost end their hopes of going to the semi-finals. Captain Fatima Sana has captained well so far, but there is a lack of consistency in the team's batting.

Muneeba Ali, Sidra Ameen, and Gull Feroza will be expected to get off to a good start, but they have failed to convert their good starts into big scores. The focus will be on Sadia Iqbal, Nashra Sandhu, and Tuba Hassan in bowling as Pakistan's fast bowling attack lacks depth.

• Key Players: Fatima Sana, Muneeba Ali, Sidra Ameen

Australia vs Pakistan: Pitch Report

The pitch of Dubai International Cricket Stadium can prove challenging for the batsmen. In the matches played so far on this pitch, the average score of the first innings has been between 110-120 runs. The pitch has a slight texture, which can help the bowlers, especially the spinners. If the bowlers bowl the ball in the right areas, the batsmen may find it difficult to score runs.

Due to the slow pitch here, the team winning the toss will prefer to bowl first. Batting may become even more difficult in the second innings.

Australia vs Pakistan: Weather Report

The weather in Dubai will be hot and dry during the match, with the temperature hovering around 33 degrees Celsius. Dew will have no impact, but players may find it challenging to play in dry weather.
