In the 2017 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, Australia, the defending champions, will play Pakistan on Friday, October 11, at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Australia is fully aware of the possible threat posed by Pakistan’s spin assault, since they are currently enjoying an incredible 13-game winning streak in T20 World Cups since 2020. It’s interesting to note that Australia has a 13-0 T20I record versus Pakistan. Annabel Sutherland, the team’s all-around player, talked candidly about this difficulty.
Yes, I believe it’s simply an additional chance to play in a World Cup with different circumstances, adjust, and yes, a new lineup as well. Therefore, Sutherland stated in the pre-game press conference, “We’re going to have to plan and think about as an individual how you’re going to take on their line-up.”
The girls will undoubtedly be prepared: Annabel Sutherland
Nida Dar, the top wicket-taker in Women’s T20Is, leads Pakistan’s spin bowling unit. Along with Nashra Sandhu, Tuba Hassan, Syeda Aroob Shah, and recently dethroned World No. 1 spinner Sadia Iqbal, they are in their squad. Another important member of the squad is Omaima Sohail, who works as a part-time spin option. Australia is certain that it can adjust in spite of the difficulty.
“I thought the girls’ performance throughout today’s workout was excellent. Though it looks like we’ve had a fair opportunity to deal with a lot of the Pakistan spin in the last few weeks, especially during training, so I’m confident the girls will be ready, it does seem like it could be a bit of a concern. Not much in our opinion, Sutherland continued.
With two wins in their previous games, the Australian team is presently leading Group A with four points and a net run rate of +2.524. They would guarantee their place in the semi-finals with another victory over Pakistan. Sutherland and the group are not looking any farther forward; instead, they are focused on the upcoming task.

Yes, I’m sure the coaches and leaders are making plans as they usually do, reviewing past performances and other relevant information. This is something we consistently do for the teams we’ll be facing. However, we are solely focused on the game tomorrow,” Sutherland said.
