Headingley, Leeds – Pitch Report
| Factor | Details |
|---|---|
| Avg 1st Innings Score (this WC) | Around 160 runs |
| Nature | Balanced pitch, helps batters once the ball gets old |
| Toss Trend | Bat first (3 of 4 games won batting first at this venue this WC) |
| Outfield | Fast, boundaries come quick |
| Key Condition | Evening dew under lights can help the chasing side late on |
Headingley Square offers something for both batsmen and bowlers. Seamers get some pace early on, but the pitch flattens out as the innings progresses, and stroke players can take advantage of it during the middle overs. The captain who wins the toss in today’s AUS-W vs PAK-W match will most likely choose to bat first and put a big score on the board, as three out of four matches at this venue in the tournament have gone the way of the team batting first.
AUS-W vs PAK-W Weather Report
Leeds will be sunny with a light breeze on match day. Evening temperatures in England in June will be mild and there is little chance of rain, so fans can expect a full 20-over match from both sides without any major disruption.

Cricbites Verdict: Australia will enter this match unbeaten, in heavy form and with a near perfect head-to-head record against Pakistan. Their batting depth, excellent fielding and a varied bowling attack make them strong favourites to extend their winning streak. Pakistan have shown fight in patches but are yet to find the consistency needed to trouble a complete team like Australia. The Australian women’s team will be hoping to secure a comfortable win and top the group stage table.
