ICC Women’s CWC 2022 | AUS-W vs PAK-W | 6th Match Preview, Predictions, Fantasy XI

After edging past their arch rivals (England Women) in a high scoring thriller Australia Women’s will face Pakistan Women’s team on March 8, 2022, at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. This will be the second game for both these sides. In their previous games, one has tasted success while the other was annihilated by India Women’s side.

Australia are currently in the fourth spot with two points to their name while Pakistan are yet to open their account and are at the bottom of the table.

A fantastic batting display from Aussie opener Rachel Haynes (130 off 131-balls) who along with her skipper Meg Lanning (86 off 110-balls) involved in a partnership of 196-runs for the second wicket helping their side reach the total beyond England’s reach in their last game.

It was not an easy day for their bowlers as the game went down to the wire. But Jess Jonassen held her nerve to restrict Natalie Sciver and England in the last over to win it by 12 runs. Alana King rattled the middle order by picking up three important scalps as she paid tribute to the spin wizard “Shane Warne”.

Ashleigh Gardner didn’t feature in the first game after she was tested positive for COVID-19 on March 3, 2022. She has been temporarily replaced by Heather Graham. But with their batters in form and bowlers doing their job there shouldn’t be any changes in the playing XI.

“We have not faced Pakistan in the ODI’s since October 2018. We saw their match against India and observed how they were bowling. Our top six has various plans to tackle against the unfamiliar spin attack from them.” - Beth Mooney said in an interview on Monday. 

Pakistan Women’s were nowhere near their best against a tough Indian side in the last game. To be fair, their bowling was average but the batting which let their side down. Their confidence would have taken a massive dent after getting thrashed by a margin of 107 runs.

They will expect a better performance from Diana Baig, Javeria Khan, Nida Dar and captain Bismah Maroof. They have the experience in them to be able to overcome the previous defeat. This game will deal no easy pickings for them as they are facing the 6-time World Champions. 

 “When we started bowling first we bowled really well. They attacked on the right line and lengths. In the middle overs we were a bit lazy but in the slog overs we had it covered. But in the next match we need to be more alert to the situations. The wickets here are helpful for batting. 245 was chasable here and with the batting line-up we have got we should have chased it. Our next game is against Australia and hopefully we cover these things and play well.The tougher side is always the one which comes back stronger.” -  Nida Dar said after the previous match.

Autopsy reports reveal reason behind Shane Warne's death

The autopsy reports have revealed the reason behind former Australia cricketer Shane Warne’s death. As per the Thai authorities, the reports have confirmed that Warne died of natural causes. It was initially revealed that the former player had passed away due to a suspected heart attack at the age of 52 while he was in Thailand with his friends. “Today investigators received the autopsy result, in which the medical opinion is that the cause of death is natural,” deputy national police spokesman Kissana Phathanacharoen said, according to Channel News Asia. “Investigators will summarize the autopsy result for prosecutors within the timeframe of the law.” A German woman is also being investigated by the Thai police for a potential security breach involving the body of Warne. The woman had spent over half a minute alone in the ambulance with Warne’s body as per ABC. The Thai police understood that the woman knew Warne personally, as reported by Fox Sports. Warne had complained of chest pain Shane Warne’s manager James Erskine has revealed that he had complained of ‘chest pain and sweating’ after undergoing a two-week fluid-only diet. “He did go on these ridiculous sorts of diets and he just finished one, where he basically only ate fluids for 14 days and he’d done this three or four times,” Erskine told ‘Nine Network.’ “It was a bit all or nothing. It was either white buns with butter and lasagne stuffed in the middle or he would be having black and green juices.” “He obviously smoked most of his life. I don’t know; I think it was just a massive heart attack. That’s what I think has happened,” Erskine added.
