Preview:

The PCB Blasters will clash off the PCB Challengers in the final of the National Triangular T20 Women’s Championship 2019-20. The Blasters won both their matches in the first round but lost the next two in the second round matches. However, their NRR was good enough to edge over the PCB Dynamites and finish on 2nd place. The PCB Challengers won a game apiece against the Dynamites and Blasters to qualify for the final as the table toppers. They are blessed to have the services of Muneeba Ali who scored 50+ runs in all four league matches including the first-ever Women’s T20 century by a Pakistan player.


Weather Condition/Report:

The National Stadium in Karachi might be cool during the final on Thursday but no rain and clouds are forecasted during the match.

Pitch Condition/Report:

An interesting trend was witnessed across the two rounds of this tournament hosted by National Stadium. The first three games were won by the batting first teams posting totals of 144, 154 and 182. However, the batting second teams got the upper hand in the following three matches while chasing targets of 147, 125 and 138. We can surely expect a good batting surface for the grand finale on Thursday.
