New Zealand Women have won only two of their six games, sitting in the bottom half of the points table.

Pakistan Women, meanwhile, have already been knocked out of the World Cup. They have managed to win only a single game out of six and have just two points to their name. They suffered a heavy loss against England Women in their last game.

After being put in to bat, the Pakistan batters failed to adapt to the conditions as they were knocked over on 105 in the 42nd over. The bowlers couldn’t defend the total as the English side chased down the total with nine wickets in hand to beat Pakistan comprehensively.
