One of the factors that can delay the balance is Pakistan’s custom with the situation. Despite the other teams in the tournament, the Pakistani women will play all their games in Colombo. Continuity should help them adapt quickly to the field and weather, allowing them to build momentum. The squad itself looks more resolved than the previous years. Their batting line has a strong contributor at the top, a reliable power batter under the order, and all that gives balance to both departments. Their bowling attacks, which feature a mixture of speed and rotation, offer the flexibility to meet the situation.
Bangladesh, however, cannot be underestimated. Although inconsistent, they have shown the ability for spring, especially when Pakistan is all over the field. With both hungry for redemption, the competition goes beyond the point on the table -this is about proving progress and carving new stories in the World Cup. Fans can expect a close match with a lot of them.
