There’s never a good time to face Australia, least of all when you’re winless and short on confidence. Pakistan’s campaign at the Women’s World Cup has started on a worrying note, and as they prepare to take on the defending champions in Colombo, the odds appear stacked against them. Their batting has faltered badly, managing just 129 and 159 (against India) in the first two games.
Australia, on the other hand, look every bit the powerhouse they’re known to be. It a side that can bat deep, bowl relentlessly, and recover even from stumbles like the one they had against New Zealand. Yet, as history has often reminded us, sport leaves room for surprises. Pakistan will be desperate to script one today when they face the might of Alyssa Healy’s Australia under humid Colombo skies.
