The stakes are high as New Zealand Women take on Pakistan Women in a pivotal World Cup clash in Colombo. With just one win and one no-result from four outings, the White Ferns—under the leadership of Sophie Devine—are in must-win territory to keep their semifinal hopes alive. Devine has led from the front, amassing 259 runs with trademark grit, but her side needs more than individual brilliance. Bowlers like Lea Tahuhu and Amelia Kerr have impressed, yet New Zealand must turn solid starts into commanding victories.
Pakistan, meanwhile, is still searching for its first win of the tournament. Fatima Sana’s team sits at the bottom of the table, but their spirited showing against England—where they nearly pulled off an upset—suggests they’re not far off.
Squads:
Pakistan Women: Muneeba Ali, Omaima Sohail, Sidra Amin, Aliya Riaz, Natalia Pervaiz, Fatima Sana (c), Sidra Nawaz (wk), Rameen Shamim, Diana Baig, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal, Syeda Aroob Shah, Sadaf Shamas, Eyman Fatima, Shawaal Zulfiqar
New Zealand Women: Suzie Bates, Georgia Plimmer, Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine(c), Brooke Halliday, Maddy Green, Isabella Gaze (wk), Jess Kerr, Rosemary Mair, Bree Illing, Eden Carson, Polly Inglis, Bella James, Hannah Rowe, Lea Tahuhu
