T20 World Cup Match 8: PAK-W vs WI-W Dream11 Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | PAK-W vs WI-W Dream11 Prediction Today | Canberra Pitch Report | Pakistan Women vs West Indies Women Preview Dream11 | PAK-W vs WI-W Key Players
Nearly a week into the tournament, Pakistan’s campaign is set to finally get underway.
They play a West Indies team whom they have enjoyed some thrilling battles with over the past couple of years. Two of the last five meetings have ended in ties, with another match (the last T20 World Cup meeting between the sides) split by just four runs.
Pakistan might consider themselves a chance in spin-friendly Canberra given the way the Windies dealt with spin against Thailand. In a competitive Group B that also includes England and South Africa, Pakistan could put some pressure on these teams with a win here.
