Pitch Report
The pitch at Seddon Park has always been good for batting and one side of the boundary is quite small on this ground. There is even bounce on the track and both sides would want to bat first after winning the toss.
Pakistan Women preview
Pakistan Women have lost all of their ODIs against India, and they would want to change that. Muneeb Ali and Javeria Khan are the top-order order batters, whereas Aliya Riaz will play an important role in the lower order. Nida Dar has been the most consistent player of the side with both bat and the ball. Diana Baig is the most important pacer of the side, whereas Nashra Sandhu is the leading spinner. This side played well in the warm-up games.
