ICC Women’s CWC 2022 | PAK-W vs BAN-W | Match 12, Preview, Prediction, Fantasy XI

Arjun Bhalla

It’s the second doubleheader day of this World Cup. In the first match of the day, two Asian sides - Pakistan Women and Bangladesh Women - will be squaring off against each other at Seddon Park in Hamilton.


Both the teams are yet to win a game and are at the bottom of the table. However, Bangladesh has a slightly better net run rate, just above Pakistan.


Women in Green, who have lost in all three matches, will try to earn a couple of essential points from this match. After surrendering to the opponents in the first two matches, they gave a tough fight for the South African Women's side. However, chasing down 224, they fell short by just six runs in a last-over thriller.


Pakistan have bowled decently in this tournament but hasn’t restricted the opponents to a manageable score. Unfortunately, their batters haven’t replicated the performances of their bowlers, which cost them the match. They will re-think their batting before this game and find a solution as they need to get up from the last position in the points table.


Skipper Bismah Maroof, Aliya Riaz, Diana Baig, Nida Dar, and Omaima Sohail are the players on whom Pakistan’s team will heavily rely on doing the bulk of the job. 


The Bangla Tigresses have nothing to lose and can earn experience and positivity from the ongoing World Cup. Though they have lost, they fought hard and had the matches in control. However, they lack experience playing at this level.   


 They have a side to cause an upset or, should I say to win the game. Skipper Nigar Sultana, Rumana Ahmed and Shamima Sultana are the ones on whom there are high expectations from Bangladesh fans. On the other hand, Jahanara Alam and Fariha Trisna are doing well in the ongoing World Cup and are expected to trouble the Pakistan Women side.


They have recently met in the warm-up games where Bangladesh Women’s came close and lost it by just seven runs (DLS). Fargana Hoque with her 71 for Bangla Tigresses, while Aliya Riaz (45 off 50)* and Fatima Sana (4 wickets) were the Pakistan Women’s team stars. So it should be another close contest between these sides.

WI vs ENG | 1st Test | Gritty West Indies hold on to eke out draw

The first Test match between West Indies and England ended in an exciting draw. The final day turned out to be one of the boldest attempts from England to force out a result in what initially looked like a dead Test match on Day 4. England were put on top with twin centuries from Zack Crawley and Joe Root, which marked their first instance in a long long time when three of their batters scored individual tons in a single Test match. Root and Crawley played an intent filled innings where they scored at a brisk pace. Sharing a massive 201 stand off 350 balls, before Crawley was undone by a yorker from Jason Holder. With Crawley falling at 225/2, England put more pressure on the host team scoring rapid runs in their third wicket partnership of 70 off 68 balls and made their intentions very very clear. Joe Root - who has been criticised more often than not for being defensive, turned over a new leaf being ultra attacking. He was ably helped by Dan Lawrence who played a cameo of 37 off 36 balls hitting four boundaries and one six. Lawrence fell on 295 and Joe Root soon followed him at 310. England were bold with their declaration at 349/6 setting a target of 286 runs in the final day, one that Windies could attempt to chase in a minimum of 71 overs. This was brave considering England did not have the services of their fastest bowler Mark Wood, who consistently troubled the opposition batters with his searing 145k deliveries. Wood had complained of pain in his elbow and it is not yet known if he will be able to further participate in the remaining matches or not. With that in mind, England came to attack in the final innings of the game centred around the discipline of Jack Leach. With close in fielders watching the ball carefully, Windies had one goal in the game, that was to survive. And they did well. Once again, the opening pair added 59 runs in the game and negotiated a long phase of 25 overs. And just like it happened in the first innings, the break in partnership paved the way for a Windies collapse threatening a loss late in the Test match. Two quick wickets of captain Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell in a space of two overs meant Windies were shaken. First it was the captain that got surprised by the bounce on a shortish delivery and ended up getting caught in front. And then it was an unnecessary aggression from John Campbell who opted to play the slog sweep against Jack Leach giving an easy chance to Craig Overton at mid on. Leach kept persisting with two more wickets of Shamarh Brooks and Jermaine Blackwood and Windies, from 59/0 were 67/4 inside a space of 10 overs. However, scenes repeated from the first innings, and Nkrumah Bonner and Jason Holder held the innings together and negotiated 214 balls together to see Windies through. Despite a draw, there are lots of positives to be taken for England from the first Test match as they are trying to force themselves into a new era of Test cricket. At the moment, Zack Crawley has looked promising to take over the opening duties, while Jonny Bairstow has paid back for the trust that has been shown to him. Root seems to be attacking more as a captain, and the raw pace of Wood is looking like the x-factor they need in the absence of Jofra Archer. England would like to better their opening bowling, where Chris Woakes is yet to prove himself. One of the best new ball bowlers in the world in white-ball format has struggled to find rhythm throughout the Test match and could do with better support from his compatriots. The second Test match will now move to Barbados, known for its feisty wickets and England will hope that come 16 March, they use the first Test’s learnings to be best effect.

PAK vs AUS | 2nd Test | Visitors rage ahead with Usman Khawaja century

Australia have raged forward in the first innings and are on course to set up a big total on Day 2 of the second Test match at Karachi on Sunday, 13 March. Scoring at a steady rate, Australia were 293/3 after 100 overs with centurion Usman Khawaja and nightwatchman Nathan Lyon on the pitch. Day 1 was headlined by Khawaja’s history-making innings, where the Pakistan-born scored his first Test century in his country of birth. Besides Khawaja, Steve Smith looked threatening on the day and fell after scoring 72 runs off 214 balls on another batting pitch. Pakistan barely looked threatening on Day 1 and had to resort to negative tactics to check the runflow. They bowled leg stump lines and tried to get Smith out like they did in the last match, but it did not pan out. A little reprieve arrived late in the final session of the game when Smith poked Hasan Ali outside off stump and pacer Faheem Ashraf flung himself to his left to grab the ball out of thin air. Barring those two, David Warner had a good start after negotiating the first 5 overs of swing from Shaheen Shah Afridi and went on to make 36 off 48 balls. He was troubled on both edges of his bat in the first few overs, struggling to judge balls bowled to him from around the wicket by the right handers. He ended up poking a ball back to the keeper in the corridor of uncertainty and became the first wicket to fall on Day 1. But the day was all about the grit of Khawaja who scored 97 runs in the first Test match before getting out. This time around, things got really tentative in the 90s for the left hander but he managed to place spinner Sajid Khan for a single through the off side to complete his century. Khawaja has been in exceptional form since making a comeback into Test cricket and has scored three centuries already since his return in the Ashes. The second day looks like another long one with the pitch offering little to no help for the bowlers. Australia will look to pile on runs and play throughout Day 2 and hope that the pitch breaks when they come out to bowl. Australia are playing two spinners in Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Swepson, hoping that the wicket will support spin in the last three days.
