New Zealand W vs Pakistan W

Today will be the 19th match of Women's T20 World Cup between New Zealand Women vs Pakistan Women. After the results of today's match, it will be known which team will qualify for the semi-finals as the second team from Group A. If New Zealand Women can beat Pakistan Women today then New Zealand Women will directly qualify as the second team. If Pakistan Women can beat New Zealand Women, then Pakistan Women and Indian Women and New Zealand Women will have 4 points each, the team leading in net run rate will qualify. New Zealand women are a stronger team than Pakistan women. In the 5 head-to-head matches between these two teams, New Zealand women won 3 matches and Pakistan women won 2 matches. Based on current performance, I would put New Zealand women ahead. I think New Zealand women will win today and qualify as the second team. Which team do you think will win today?

The New Zealand women's team has a high chance of playing in the semi-finals. Because Pakistan women's team is far behind in NRR where Pakistan's NRR is -0.488 while New Zealand women's NRR is +0.282. If Pakistan women's team wins then I don't think they can beat New Zealand by a huge margin, India women's team will get a chance in the semi-finals. I am favoring New Zealand Women's team, Pakistan's neighbors in Asia two strong teams India Women's Team and Sri Lanka Women's team, have beaten them by huge margins in the previous matches in the group stage against New Zealand women. I don't see any chance for Pakistan, I see a chance that either New Zealand or India women's team will make it to the semi-finals.

Today we have the final round game for New Zealand women team and Pakistan women team. The equation is very easy for the NZ team as they just needs to win, this will give them 2 points and with 6 points, they can easily make to the semi finals with Australian team already qualified.

However, here Pakistan Women team has also an outside chance of making it to the semi finals. For this, they have first beat the New Zealand team and beat them by a big margin so that they can over come the India run rate that is 0.322. This may be an impossible task for the girls leading by Muneeba Ali.
