Pakistan Women vs Bangladesh Women, 2019: 2nd T20I – Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

The second T20-I between Asian rivals, Pakistan Women and Bangladesh Women is scheduled on Monday with the series on the line. The first game saw Pakistan recover from a couple of set-backs at the start to put up a formidable score on the board. Pakistan’s bowling unit was on song with Anam Amin and Sadia Iqbal churning out economical spells with the ball.

The Pakistan Women side would love to seal a series win at the Gaddafi Stadium with the likes of Bismah Maroof and Omaima Sohail also being key to their fortunes against Bangladesh. In spite of a loss in the first game, Bangladesh isn’t one to be taken lightly with the likes of Jahnara Alam and Rumana Ahmed showing glimpses of what they are capable of in the shortest format.

Weather Report:

It will be clear and sunny day in Lahore for a good game of cricket to take place. There isn’t any chance of rain whatsoever. The temperature will hover around 29-32 Degrees Celsius according to AccuWeather.

Pitch Report:

The first match in the series saw the pacers get some extra swing upfront although the batters were able to play their stroke freely upon spending some time in the middle. The spinners will also play a major role with the pitch slowing down as the game progresses. Batting first and defending the target is the ideal scenario for either side upon winning the toss.

Average first innings score: 165 (Recent 3 T20Is played at the venue between Pakistan and Sri Lanka Men’s team)

Record of the chasing teams: Won – 0; Lost – 3

Jahnara Alam is one to watch out for with the Bangladesh pacer starting this series with a four-wicket haul on Saturday.
