AUS vs PAK Dream11 Prediction: 3 Differentials you can pick for today's Women's T20 World Cup 2024 match - October 11, 2024
Australia will take on Pakistan in the 14th ICC Women's T20I World Cup 2024 match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday, October 11. Pakistan come into the match on the back of a defeat to India and will be without their captain Fatima Sana, who is absent for personal reasons, with Muneeba Ali set to lead the side.
The Women in Green will go up against the mighty Aussies, who obliterated New Zealand in their last outing, winning by 60 runs, with Megan Schutt starring with the ball.
Let's look at the top three Dream11 differential picks from this fixture.
#3 Syeda Aroob Shah (BOWL - PAK)
Young leg-spinner Syeda Aroob Shah could be a quality Dream11 differential pick, albeit quite risky. The 20-year-old has picked up five wickets in 13 T20Is and hasn't quite met her potential yet, but in a game with not much pressure on them to deliver, she could provide them with some crucial breakthroughs.
She's also a very handy batter at No. 8, and considering how good the Australian bowlers have been, she's likely to be called upon to bat, and when that happens, she could score some useful runs.
While her performances so far haven't been great, Syeda Aroob Shah has a player profile that promises a high points ceiling. She is a viable high-risk, high-reward option.
#2 Muneeba Ali (WK - PAK)
Pakistan's stand-in captain Muneeba Ali will have a huge task in front of her in the shape of a formidable Australian side. The Pakistan opener hasn't gotten going in this tournament and struggled against India. However, the 27-year-old is an experienced player who puts a huge prize on her wicket, and against a quality bowling attack, she certainly has what it takes to bat sensibly and score some runs.
She's also the side's wicketkeeper and could earn some useful points in the form of dismissals, with Pakistan's bowling arsenal well-stacked and capable of troubling even a side as strong as Australia.
Muneeba Ali might be one of the best Dream11 options from Pakistan, but it's surprising to see her ownership so low. She's a quality Dream11 differential pick.
#1 Grace Harris (BAT - AUS)
Grace Harris was brought into the Australian playing XI for their game against New Zealand, and she's likely to retain her place in the side for this match. The powerful striker of the ball fell cheaply to an Amelia Kerr wrong 'un after getting promoted to No. 5, and didn't get an opportunity to bowl.
However, considering Pakistan's problems with off-spin, Grace Harris could get some overs alongside Ash Gardner to exploit that weakness. She's also a devastating batter and on what should be a better batting wicket than Sharjah, she's sure to get some runs, with strike rate points and boundary points very likely for her.
Given how her ownership is low going into the match, she could be a powerful Dream11 differential.
