ENG-W vs PAK-W: The next game of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 will be played between England Women and Pakistan Women. This match will be held at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday at 3 PM IST. Here are the fantasy cricket tips and match details for the upcoming game.

England Women Preview 

England Women entered the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 as one of the top contenders, and after the first three games, they are on their way to becoming the first team to qualify for the semis. A win against Pakistan might confirm that as well. So, England will be keen to win this game.

• Key Batters: Nat Sciver Brunt and Heather Knight have played match-winning knocks in this tournament.
• Captaincy: Captain Sciver Brunt won the Player of the Match award in the last game. She slammed a century and also bowled well and is one of the best all-rounders in this format.
• Batting Strength: The batting for England was tested against Bangladesh, and they responded well. Then they also did a great job in the last game. So, they have already come out victorious from a tough situation by delivering with the bat.
• Bowling Attack: The bowling for England have done well in all three games and bowled the opposition out in all three games. The team has yet to score 200 against them in this tournament.

Pakistan Women Preview 

Pakistan Women made it into this tournament after playing the qualifiers, which showed that they have performed like a second-tier team in the recent past. They have batted poorly, and bowling has been off-color on occasions. They need a miracle to beat England in this game.

• Batting: The batting has been a big question mark for Pakistan. Only Sidra Ameen has looked in good touch, but other batters have been gifting their wickets to the opposition.
• Bowling: Fatima Sana, Diana Baig, and Nashra Sandhu have done well with the ball. They need a strong bowler in the final overs and have a decent bowling attack.

Match Details – England Women vs Pakistan Women, 16th Match

R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo and Weather Report

R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo has been a good batting wicket, but this is not a high-scoring venue. The score will be around 260-265 if England bats first. The bowlers will have the help, as pacers will get the early swing when the ball is new, with spinners getting turn and grip. Chasing can be a good option here because of dew.

The weather shows some chances of passing showers on Wednesday in Colombo. The temperature will go as high as 30°C with the humidity to be around 75-80 percent.

ENG-W vs PAK-W Match Prediction – Who Will Win? 

England Women are too strong for this Pakistani side to handle. They have match-winners in both departments and have shown that in their performance. Meanwhile, Pakistan Women are not getting contributions from their top and senior players. That has been the biggest lacking point for them this tournament. That is why we believe England Women will beat Pakistan Women in this game on Wednesday.
