ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 | PAKW vs NEDW Match Prediction | Group A, 26th Match – Who Will Win Pakistan Women vs Netherlands Women Match?

Pakistan Women vs Netherlands Women – 26th Match, Group A

The 26th Match of Group A in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 will see Pakistan Women take on Netherlands Women on Saturday, June 27, at County Ground, Bristol. The match is scheduled to begin at 10:30 AM local time (9:30 AM GMT / 2:30 AM PT / 5:30 AM ET).

Pakistan Women won the toss and opted to bat first. This decision shows that Pakistan want to put runs on the board and use scoreboard pressure against the Netherlands Women. At a venue like Bristol, batting first can be useful if the surface slows down later in the match.

Pakistan Women will be led by Fatima Sana, who is one of the key all-round players in the squad. Their batting lineup includes Muneeba Ali, Gull Feroza, Saira Jabeen, Ayesha Zafar, Iram Javed, Aliya Riaz, Natalia Pervaiz, and Eyman Fatima. Muneeba Ali will be important at the top order, while experienced players like Aliya Riaz and Iram Javed can add power and stability in the middle order.

Pakistan’s all-round department gives them good balance. Fatima Sana, Aliya Riaz, Rameen Shamim, Tuba Hassan, and Natalia Pervaiz can contribute in more than one area. This makes Pakistan flexible with both batting depth and bowling options.

The Pakistan bowling attack includes Diana Baig, Sadia Iqbal, Nashra Sandhu, Tuba Hassan, Fatima Sana, Rameen Shamim, and Tasmia Rubab. Diana Baig can be effective with the new ball, while Sadia Iqbal and Nashra Sandhu bring quality spin options in the middle overs. If Pakistan can take early wickets, they can control the game strongly.

Netherlands Women will be led by Babette de Leede, who is also their wicketkeeper. Their batting lineup includes Phebe Molkenboer, Sanya Khurana, Sterre Kalis, Robine Rijke, Frederique Overdijk, Iris Zwilling, Heather Siegers, and Babette de Leede. Sterre Kalis and Babette de Leede will be key players if the Netherlands want to build a strong chase.

The Netherlands all-round options include Babette de Leede, Frederique Overdijk, Iris Zwilling, Heather Siegers, and Caroline de Lange. These players need to play important roles with both bat and ball if the Dutch side wants to challenge Pakistan in this match.

The Netherlands bowling attack includes Caroline de Lange, Silver Siegers, Hannah Landheer, Lara Leemhuis, Rosalie Lawrence, Myrthe van den Raad, and Frederique Overdijk. They will need disciplined bowling in the powerplay and must avoid giving easy runs to Pakistan’s top order.

The County Ground pitch in Bristol usually offers a fair contest between bat and ball. Fast bowlers may get some movement early in the innings, while batters can score freely once they settle. Spinners can become useful in the middle overs, especially if the surface starts to grip. A first-innings score between 145 and 165 can be competitive at this venue.

Pakistan Women have more international experience and better squad depth compared to Netherlands Women. The Netherlands have talented players and can trouble Pakistan if they start well, but Pakistan look stronger in batting, bowling, and overall balance.

Expert Prediction: Pakistan Women have 72% chance and Netherlands Women have 28% winning chance.
