Match Details:

The 1st game of the two-match ODI series between Pakistan Women and Bangladesh Women will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

The match starts at 10:00 AM local time (5:00 AM GMT) (10:30 AM IST).

Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

After winning the three-match T20 International series by 3-0, Pakistan Women will face Bangladesh Women in the two-match ODI series. The hosts are no wonder the favourites to win this contest as well but a few of Bangladesh players did well consistently throughout the T20Is. Expect the visitors to put up a decent fight in the 50-over tussle and win at least a game on the tour.

As for Pakistan, the selectors announced the squad on Wednesday and made three changes to the T20I team which won 3-0. They left out Ayesha Zafar, Anam Amin and Saba Nazir and called up 15-year-old Aroob Shah, Nashra Sandhu and Fatima Sana to the team. Bangladesh, on the other hand, had announced a combined squad for both the series and Rumana Ahmed will take over the captaincy for this series.

Weather Condition/Report:

It will be cloudy throughout the day in Lahore. However, it is not expected to rain. The temperature is expected to revolve around 24-28 Degrees Celsius according to AccuWeather.

Pitch Condition/Report:

Last ODI played at the venue was between Pakistan and Zimbabwe in Men’s cricket when international cricket was just returning back to the country. Also, recently the Gaddafi Stadium has only hosted T20Is. The pitches for the Women’s T20I series were decent and with cloudy conditions on offer, there might be a little bit of help for the pacers early on. Expect the team winning the toss to bat first.

Average first innings score: N/A (No ODI played recently)

Record of the chasing teams: N/A

Injury and Availability:

Bangladesh named same squads for both the series and as of now, they haven’t changed the squad despite the 3-0 series loss in T20Is.
