New Zealand vs Pakistan Women Preview & Tips


New Zealand Women are looking to mount a comeback at the Cricket World Cup following their 100-run win over Bangladesh in their last completed match. 

Pakistan Women will be reeling from their no result against England after giving the previously perfect side all kinds of issues. 

  • New Zealand are unbeaten in their last four against their opponents (W3, D1)
  • Pakistan have lost their last four in the ODI game 
  • Sophie Devine has scored 260 runs for New Zealand 

Head To Head


New Zealand have won seven of their last 10 against Pakistan, with the latter winning twice and one game ending as a draw. 

New Zealand Women Form


New Zealand Women have been forced to endure a frustrating World Cup so far, with a single win coming from their opening four. 

Defeat at the hands of the best side in the game in the form of Australia was one most saw coming, while they were also beaten by a very good South African side. They then kickstarted their campaign with a 100-run win over Bangladesh. 

Their fourth outing saw their game against Sri Lanka end as a no result. The point they were given was probably not one to be sniffed at, with Sri Lanka ending their innings on 258/6. With three points coming from their opening four, New Zealand are still in the hunt for a semi-final spot. 

Victory over winless Pakistan is a must for New Zealand, and I back them to be led by the excellent Sophie Devine once again. 

Pakistan Women Form


Pakistan's Women's World Cup campaign has not gone the way they would have envisaged it, with the side picking up a single point from their opening four. 

However, they arrive for this one with some momentum following their performance against England. Pakistan kept England to 133/9 in their 31 overs, with the former given a revised target of 113 from 31 overs. At 34/0 from 6.4 overs, the only thing that could save England was the rain, and that is exactly what came to their rescue. 

If Pakistan can emulate their performance against England, then they can given New Zealand problems. However, their inability to string together wins is the reason they sit at the bottom, and I back their winless run to go on. 

Verdict

I am backing New Zealand to secure an important win as Sophie Devine continues to take the opposition bowling attack to the cleaners.
