Pakistan Women will be playing against New Zealand women in the 19th match of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024. This match will be played at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on October 14 at 7:30 PM IST.
Pakistan have won one and lost two of their three matches in this tournament. They are currently at the fourth spot in the points table. Fatima Sana and her team need to win this game by a convincing margin to keep their hopes of making it to the top four alive.
New Zealand, on the other hand, are in a better position with two wins and one defeat in three matches. However, they too need to win this game by a big margin to ensure their qualification into the next round.

The pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium has looked a good one for batting. We have seen that in some of the matches the teams have gone past the 160 mark. However, chasing has been difficult on this track and we can expect the same in this match.
