Pakistan have won the toss and opted to bat first against Netherlands in the 26th match of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 here at the County Ground on Saturday.
Playing XIs
Pakistan: Muneeba Ali (wk), Gull Feroza, Ayesha Zafar, Saira Jabeen, Iram Javed, Fatima Sana (c), Eyman Fatima, Nashra Sandhu, Tuba Hassan, Diana Baig and Sadia Iqbal.
Netherlands: Heather Siegers, Phebe Molkenboer, Babette de Leede (wk & c), Sterre Kalis, Robine Rijke, Sanya Khurana, Frederique Overdijk, Iris Zwilling, Hannah Landheer, Caroline de Lange and Silver Siegers.
Pakistan and Netherlands have come face-to-face just once in Women's T20Is, and the Green Shirts won their solitary meeting.
Pakistan and Netherlands enter the fixture with similar momentum, as both teams are yet to taste a triumph in the ongoing Women's T20 World Cup 2026 and have already been knocked out of the semi-final race.
Consequently, Netherlands are at the bottom of the Group 1 standings, trailing Pakistan due to a relatively inferior net run rate, who also have zero points.
