TEAMS PREVIEW
Pakistan Women Preview
Pakistan Women didn't perform well in the previous Semi-final 1 game as they faced defeat by 8 wickets against Sri Lanka. Batting first, Pakistan posted an impressive score of 177, but poor bowling allowed Sri Lanka to chase down the target in 17.5 overs and win the match by eight wickets.
In the batting department in the last game, Shawaal Zulfiqar provided a brilliant start for Pakistan's top order, playing an innings of 54 runs off 50 balls. However, the most crucial innings for Pakistan came from Ayesha Zafar, who scored 71 runs off 40 balls at a strike rate of 177, helping the team's total reach close to 180.
However, Pakistan failed to replicate its fine batting performance while defending the target; significant shortcomings were evident in their bowling, and consequently, they were unable to secure a win despite posting a huge total. Fatima Sana and Nashra Sandhu are the only wicket-takers from their side, as both took one wicket each.
In the batting department, Shawaal Zulfiqar will be eager to put up another strong performance, having scored 297 runs at an average of 33 in her last 9 matches. Additionally, Ayesha Zafar can also perform well, having scored 212 runs at an average of 21.2 in her last 10 matches.
With the ball, Fatima Sana has the ability to perform well, as she claimed 15 wickets in her last 7 matches at an economy rate of 6.26. Nashra Sandhu also performed impressively by taking 13 wickets in her last ten matches.

Bangladesh Women Preview
The Bangladesh Women also put up a dismal performance in their previous Semi-final 2 match, suffering a heavy 114-run defeat against India Women. Batting first, India posted a huge total of 195 runs; in reply, Bangladesh were bowled out for just 81 runs.
Chasing a big total in the last game, Bangladesh got off to a disappointing start, losing wickets consistently right from the beginning. Due to the lack of any significant partnerships, Bangladesh's innings ended very quickly. Top-order batter Dilara Akter was the highest run-scorer, scoring 27 runs off 23 balls.
Earlier, Bangladesh's bowling was nothing special either; they failed to deal India any early blows. Due to which, India succeeded in posting a big score. Marufa Akter, Sanjida Akter Meghla, Rabeya Khan, and Nahida took one wicket each.
In the batting department, Nigar Sultana will be the key batter after scoring 192 runs at an average of 21.33 across her last 10 matches. Sobhana Mostary has scored 193 runs at an average of 19.3 during the same period.
With the ball, Marufa Akter is in good form, having picked up 14 wickets in her last 10 matches at an economy of 6.62. Nahida Akter has been equally impressive, claiming 13 wickets in her last nine matches.

PAKW vs BANW Pitch Report
Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin is expected to offer a well-balanced pitch with a slight advantage for the batters. As a newly built venue, the surface is hard, and the outfield is likely to be quick, making stroke play easier. Recent matches and the nature of the pitch indicate favourable batting conditions, while fast bowlers can also generate good bounce throughout the game. The average first-innings total at this venue is around 121 runs.
