This Match 10 fixture is shaping up to be a real “do or die” moment for Pakistan A Women. They currently sit in third place with 2 points, but their NRR of -1.012 took a massive hit after that heavy loss to India. They need a big win here to keep their semi-final dreams alive. Meanwhile, the UAE Women have been the surprise package of the tournament. They are sitting pretty at the top of Group A with a perfect record—2 wins from 2 games and 4 points. Their confidence will be sky-high after beating both India A and Nepal, effectively securing their path forward.
The UAE’s success has been built on the back of some sensational individual performances, most notably from captain Esha Oza, who blew everyone away with a massive 125 against Nepal. Pakistan’s bowlers will need to find a way to silence her early if they want to control the game. Shawaal Zulfiqar has been the bright spot in Pakistan’s batting lineup, but she’s going to need a lot more support from the middle order. If Pakistan can rediscover the bowling discipline they showed in their opening win against Nepal, we could be in for a thrilling, high-stakes battle.
