FORM GUIDE
Defending champions Australia have momentum in their favour as they are unbeaten in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, winning both their fixtures and are currently at the summit of Group A standings with four points.
Pakistan, on the other hand, had a mixed campaign, as they started with a 31-run victory over Sri Lanka but succumbed to a frustrating six-wicket defeat against arch-rivals India.
The Green Shirts, who never made it to the semi-finals of the Women’s T20 World Cup, are third in the standings with two points in two matches.
Australia: W, W, W, W, W (most recent first)
