PK-W vs SL-W: Team Previews

Pakistan Women

Pakistan Women team’s planned Asian Games quarter-final fixture against Indonesia earlier this week was abandoned owing to ceaseless rains in Hangzhou. The Nida Dar-led side entered the multi-nation even off the back of their 3-0 series win over South Africa at home earlier in September. The ‘Women in Green’, however, sustained a Group Stage exit at the 2023 T20 World Cup played out in South Africa this year.

In head-to-head battles against Sri Lanka, Pakistan Women have registered a staggering eight wins from their previous 10 meetings.

Sri Lanka Women

Sri Lanka Women registered a rare T20I series win in England earlier this month itself. Despite losing out the opening fixture of their bilateral assignment, they fought back with confident wins in the subsequent games to seal the series. However, they lost with an identical margin, albeit to New Zealand a couple of months ago at home.

Meanwhile in the ongoing Asian Games, Sri Lanka stormed into the semi-finals with a dominant eight-wicket win over Thailand at the same venue yesterday.

PK-W vs SL-W: Hangzhou Pitch Report

The conditions at Hangzhou’s Zhejiang University field have been conducive to spinners off late, within something on offer for the batters as well. The average first innings total at the venue in the ongoing multi-nation event has been 148. While recent track record might prompt captain winning the toss to bat first, rain threat in Hangzhou might convince them to take field under overcast conditions.
