NZ-W vs PAK-W Match Prediction: Match 19, Fantasy Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report & More – ICC Women’s World Cup 2025

NZ-W vs PAK-W: Match no. 19 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 will be played between New Zealand Women and Pakistan Women. This match will begin at 3 PM IST on Saturday at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. This game will decide the fate of both sides. Here are the fantasy cricket tips and match details for this game.

New Zealand Women Preview 

The last washed-out game against Sri Lanka has certainly hurt New Zealand’s chances. They have three games left to play, and they need to win all three to stand a chance for the semis. So, this is a crucial match for their campaign.

• Key Batters: Sophie Devine and Amelia Kerr are two batters who have scored runs in the recent past.
• Captaincy: Captain Devine is the second-highest scorer in this tournament. She has batted in three innings and scored 50+ runs in all three innings.
• Batting Strength: The good form of Sophie Devine and contributions from other batters make this batting very strong. Most importantly, they have experienced batters who have bailed out the team from tough situations in their careers.
• Bowling Attack: New Zealand made some bowling changes in the last game, but it didn’t work. They might look to bring Lea Tahuhu back in the playing XI. They have good pace options and spinners as well.

Pakistan Women Preview 

Pakistan would be gutted after the last game against England Women was washed out from a position where they were favorites to win. But that is the nature of such a big tournament. They might not qualify for the semis without a miracle, but they can certainly spoil New Zealand’s party.

• Batting: The batting had a good start to a chase against England. But it has been an issue for them. Apart from Sidra Ameen, none of the other batters have taken responsibility to play big innings or to stay on the crease.
• Bowling: The bowling has done well and surprised many in this tournament. They restricted the strong English team to a low score and also gave Australia a tough time at one point.

Match Details – New Zealand Women vs Pakistan Women, 19th Match

R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo and Weather Report

The rain has made a big difference in the playing conditions. In such circumstances, the pitch becomes slow, and the ball doesn’t rise much. The bounce gets low, and bowlers will get more out of the pitch. Though the boundaries are not big enough, bowling first will be ideal for this game.

The weather will be a worry for this game. There is a prediction of thunderstorms during the scheduled time on Saturday in Colombo, with the temperature around 30°C and 75 percent humidity.

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

The only thing for Pakistan to celebrate in this tournament has been their bowling. They have used the conditions well, and their new ball bowlers are taking wickets. But when it comes to batting, they are far behind New Zealand. That is why we believe New Zealand Women will beat Pakistan Women in this game on Saturday.
