Team Analysis:
Australia:
Australia Women kicked off their World Cup campaign in style and defeated England Women comprehensively. The team outplayed defending champions in all the departments, and the game brought the best out of all the players. While batting first, batters R Haynes (130 of 131), Meg Lanning (86 off 110) and Beth Mooney (27 off 19) performed exceptionally well at the top of the order. Haynes has a strike rate of 77.96 in 69 matches she has played so far, and with her last performance against England, she earns a place in the fantasy team. Alyssa Healy is another top-ranked opener from the Australian squad who should be included in the fantasy team. Lanning and Mooney are top-seeded batters, and they will surely strengthen the middle-order. Alana King's three-wicket haul provided many tough challenges to England batters, while Jess Jonassen is a quality left-arm orthodox who should also be considered. Megan Schutt, Ellyse Perry, and Tahlia McGrath are another set of bowlers which must be considered while building a fantasy team.
Pakistan:
The Bismah Maroof-led squad had a disappointing outing against Indian Women in their last clash. Although Diana Baig provided an early breakthrough by dismissing Shafali Verma on the 3rd over of the match, bowlers could not capitalize from there on. Nida Dar and Nashra Sandhu picked two wickets each and finished their overs with an impressive economy of 4.50 and 3.60 respectively. Pakistan batters completely failed to impress with their performance, but still, the team has some quality batters who can get back their form in any match. Sidra Ameen (30 off 64) and Javeria Khan (11 off 18) have huge potential to outplay any set of bowlers in the contest and must be considered while forming a fantasy team. Nida Dar (4 off 10), Aliya Riaz (11 off 23), Diana Baig (24 off 35) are good all-rounders who should be in the fantasy team.
