As the group stage of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 winds down, Pakistan Women and Netherlands Women square off in a battle for pride. Both teams have endured a tough tournament, losing all four of their respective opening matches, which mathematically rules them out of semifinal contention.
For Fatima Sana‘s Pakistan side, the tournament has been a story of batting collapses, highlighted by their recent heavy defeat against Australia where they were bundled out for just 86. On the other side, Babette de Leede’s Netherlands squad has shown flashes of individual brilliance—particularly from the captain herself, who has amassed 145 runs in the tournament—but they haven’t been able to stitch together a complete team performance.
With nothing left to lose, both squads will look to unleash playing styles unburdened by pressure to ensure they don’t leave England with a winless record.

County Ground Pitch Report
The County Ground in Bristol generally provides a reliable surface for T20 cricket, featuring consistent bounce and true carry that allows top-order batters to play their strokes freely once they get their eye in. However, given the local English overhead conditions and early morning start, the pace bowlers can expect some genuine assistance with the new ball via conventional swing and seam movement. As the match progresses, the pitch tends to settle down nicely, making chasing a viable and historically well-supported option, though spin bowlers will likely extract a bit of grip and turn during the middle overs if the surface is dry.

Pakistan Women: Muneeba Ali(w), Gull Feroza, Saira Jabeen, Ayesha Zafar, Iram Javed, Aliya Riaz, Fatima Sana(c), Rameen Shamim, Nashra Sandhu, Diana Baig, Sadia Iqbal, Tuba Hassan, Eyman Fatima, Tasmia Rubab, Natalia Pervaiz
