Probable Predicted XI

Australia Women

Australia will probably stick to their playing XI from the last game. The combination has done wonders to them and the playoff spot is almost sealed with another win. The six-time champions shall not tinker much and the middle order, which was subdued, has come among runs.

Predicted XI: Beth Mooney, Alyssa Healy (w/c), Ellyse Perry, Phoebe Litchfield, Grace Harris, Ashleigh Gardner, Georgia Wareham, Tahlia McGrath, Annabel Sutherland, Sophie Molineux, Megan Schutt

Pakistan Women

Muneeba Ali is the leading run scorer for Pakistan this year but she has managed to score just 38 runs in two games. The team will be relying on her for a good start.

Predicted XI: Muneeba Ali (w/c), Gull Feroza, Sidra Amin, Nida Dar, Aliya Riaz, Omaima Sohail, Tasmia Rubab, Tuba Hassan, Nashra Sandhu, Syeda Aroob Shah, Sadia Iqbal
