Bangladesh Women will take on Pakistan Women in the final ODI of the Pakistan Women’s tour of Bangladesh 2023 on November 10 at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. The match will start at 9:00 AM IST. The Bangladesh women’s cricket team sealed the preceding T20I series by 2-1 as Bismah Maroof (98 runs) and Nahida Akter (eight wickets) topped the scoring and wicket-taking charts, respectively. The ongoing ODI series stands at 1-1 after Bangladesh levelled the series with a thrilling super-over win in the second ODI.
With the third one-day international match set to be the decider, the two teams will go in with all their might to try and pocket the ODI series.
BAN-W vs PAK-W pitch report
The average first innings score of 220 in the 100+ ODIs played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium suggests a batter-friendly wicket on offer.
However, the two ODIs played here in the ongoing series have seen the bowlers make merry, with only one half-century scored by hosts’ captain Nigar Sultana.
Teams bowling first have won more matches compared to the sides batting first and hence, the captains must choose to chase a total to have higher chances of winning.
Pace or spin?
Spin is the way to go at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur as all the four leading wicket-takers in the ODI series (Sadia Iqbal, Nida Dar, Umm-e-Hani and Nahida Akter) are spinners. Nonetheless, pacers too can extract something from the pitch if they bowl in the right areas.
BAN-W vs PAK-W weather report
