The Dubai International Cricket Stadium is set to host a thrilling encounter as Pakistan faces New Zealand in the 19th match of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. With semifinal spots still on the line, this final Group A fixture promises high-stakes action.
Defending champions Australia have already secured their place in the semifinals, winning all four of their group matches. However, the battle for the remaining spot is heating up. New Zealand currently holds the edge, as a win against Pakistan will see them advance to the knockout stage. If the White Ferns stumble, it opens up a lifeline for India, who are positioned second in the group standings, courtesy of a superior net run rate.
There’s also a slim but exciting chance for Pakistan to make it to the semifinals. For that to happen, they need to defeat New Zealand by a significant margin—over 53 runs or chase down a target of (assuming 150) in fewer than 9.1 overs. If they pull off this feat, Pakistan would leapfrog both India and New Zealand to claim a spot in the next round, making this match a must-watch for cricket fans around the world.

Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The surface at Dubai International Cricket Stadium ensures a level playing field for both batters and bowlers. Pace bowlers thrive in the initial overs due to significant swing and new-ball movement, making this period critical for the bowling attack. During this phase, seamers can effectively use both swing and bounce. However, as the ball wears out and the innings advances, conditions become more favorable for the batters. With diminished assistance for bowlers, batters can strike the ball more freely as the match progresses.
