Women's T20 World Cup 2024: Match 19, PAK-W vs NZ-W Match Preview: Head to Head records, pitch report and more

Pakistan will take on New Zealand in Match 19 of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on October 14. New Zealand’s loss to Australia in the second game has hampered their Net Run Rate as it stands at +0.282. Nonetheless, the team has two wins in three games and currently occupies the third spot in the table, just behind India. 

On the other hand, Pakistan’s prospects of reaching the playoffs look bleak as they have won just one game out of three. The upcoming one will potentially bear no importance as their NRR of -0.488 is the biggest roadblock in their qualification. However, they are still in with a mathematical chance. New Zealand will have to win by a big margin and hope that India fumble against Australia.
