AUSW vs PAKW 1st ODI Match Prediction

AUSW vs PAKW Team Previews

Australia Women

The Australian Women’s team is still regarded as the best in the world right now, and it’s hard to disagree with big names like Meg Lanning, Tahlia McGrath, Beth Mooney, and Ashleigh Gardner.

Australia’s form is sizzling hot, as the team has won their last five ODI games, with easy victories over the likes of England, West Indies, Bangladesh, South Africa, and India.

In terms of batting, the biggest threats will be Lanning and Mooney. Lanning is one of the most experienced in the side and will captain the team, as she’s got a solid batting average of 53.13 for ODI games and made 4,463 total runs. Although she’s played fewer matches, Mooney is catching up fast, already with 1,750 runs and an average of 50.00.

For bowling, the team will look to Jess Jonassen and Alana King. Jonassen, also a decent batter, has picked up 131 ODI wickets with an average of 19.67. King has only played 11 international ODI innings, but has taken 14 wickets and an average of 25.50.

Pakistan Women

Pakistan has also been playing well lately, with four wins out of their last five ODI matches, including victories over Sri Lanka and Ireland. It’s true that they’ll have a tough time against Australia, but there’s a good amount of talent on the roster.

Sidra Ameen is a good batter with 1,281 total runs in ODI games and a 27.25 average. She’ll have nice support from Bismah Maroof, who has 3,017 runs and an average of 30.17 from 117 innings.

The bowlers likely to trouble the Aussie batters the most are Fatima Sana and Nida Dar. Sana has 41 wickets and an average of 25.17 from 28 innings, while Dar has 89 wickets and an average of 30.38 from 95 innings.
