PAK-W vs NED-W Match Prediction, Venue Details & Winning Chances

Pakistan Women’s Team and Netherlands Women’s Team will take the field for the last time in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup to be held in 2026. Neither team has won a single match in this tournament so far. Pakistan’s campaign ended after losing four matches against India, South Africa, Bangladesh and Australia.

Meanwhile, Netherlands also lost their first match in the Women’s T20 World Cup. The 26th match to be played at Bristol’s County Ground on June 27 is the final group-stage match for both the teams, with no place left in the knockout stage. However, both the teams will be eager to get a victory here to end a terrible campaign.

PAK-W vs NED-W: Match Overview

Key Insights

Pakistan Women

The tournament has been a disappointing one for Pakistan. After being bowled out for 106 while chasing 171, they lost the match to India by 64 runs. Led by Deepti Sharma’s 5 for 10, India’s spinners tore through Pakistan’s batting order in one of the best bowling performances of the tournament.

Against South Africa in Match 11, Pakistan scored 126 for 9. Fatima Sana then put on a brilliant batting display with an unbeaten 55 and a 71-run partnership for the ninth wicket, which, according to the official match report of the ICC, became the highest partnership for the ninth wicket in the history of the Women’s T20 World Cup. South Africa still chased the target with two wickets in hand.

Pakistan’s top order has started well but has struggled badly against quality spin. One of the few positive aspects has been the all-round performance of captain Fatima Sana. His unbeaten 55 against South Africa and figures of 3 for 16 in the same match highlighted his importance to the team.

However, a win would at least help them avoid a winless campaign. This match is a test of character as well as skill, and Pakistan need to show that they can meet the Dutch challenge.

Netherlands Women

Unfortunately for the Netherlands, the game has been tough so far and they have suffered four defeats in all four matches. Bangladesh were really let down in the fifth match, with Babette de Leeuw scoring 50 off 45 balls to take the team to 139 for 8, although Bangladesh managed to chase it down in the last over.

They were then bowled out for 114 against India, while India posted a mammoth 209 for 5. Their match against Australia was exactly what you would expect when facing one of the most impressive batting lineups of the tournament.

The Dutch team have not been completely invisible, however. De Leeuw’s half-century proved that their captain can hold his own at this level. Caroline de Lange and Heather Seegers have both done a good job with the ball, while Ster Kallis brings valuable experience of playing county cricket in Yorkshire.

While Pakistan has struggled mightily with their batting in this tournament, this upcoming match is the best opportunity for the Netherlands to score a fighting score and hunt their first historic win.

Pitch Report: County Ground

The County Ground in Bristol has always provided a more balanced surface for white-ball cricket, which has been a big help for both batsmen and bowlers. The South Africa women’s team’s massive 208/1 on 25 June showed that big scores are possible on this pitch when the top order gets going.

The new ball is likely to give the fast bowlers some swing, but conditions for batting become much better after the first five overs. Its shorter boundaries could also help the batsmen, with ill-timed shots often reaching the fence.

The normally expected first innings score has increased dramatically, with 155 to 165 now looking like a more competitive score based on recent World Cup matches, including South Africa’s 208.

Toss Prediction

Early movement and swing could make life difficult for batters at the start, but the surface usually settles down quickly. The captain winning the toss may prefer to bat first and try to put up a strong score.

PAK-W vs NED-W: Match Prediction

Pakistan women’s team is starting this match as favourites. Despite losing the first three matches, they have more experience and quality at most positions than the Netherlands. Fatima Sana as an all-rounder, Muniba Ali at the top of the order and Sadia Iqbal with the ball, all of them bring significantly more international experience than most of the players in the Dutch team.

In a match where neither team has anything left to lose, Pakistan’s superior individual quality makes them a strong team on paper. As for the Netherlands women’s team, they will be keen to register their first win in their maiden Women’s T20 World Cup campaign and bring some confidence going forward.

This promises to be an entertaining contest, although the chances of victory still lean towards the Pakistan women’s team.
