This high-stakes game, set to take place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium at 7:30 PM (IST), holds significant importance for both teams, as they seek to secure a place in the semi-finals.

Pakistan Women currently sit in fourth place in Group A, with a record of one win and two losses in their three matches. After enduring a tough 9-wicket loss to Australia and a 6-wicket defeat to arch-rivals India, Pakistan is in dire need of a win. Securing a victory in this clash would see them jump to third place, overtaking their opponents, New Zealand Women.

Meanwhile, New Zealand Women, led by Sophie Devine, hold the third spot in the group with two wins and one loss. They started the tournament strong with a 58-run victory over India but stumbled in a 60-run loss to defending champions Australia. However, they bounced back with a dominant 8-wicket triumph over Sri Lanka in their most recent match.
