Australia Women vs Pakistan Women, the 21st match of the elite ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, is set to begin at 11:00 PM IST at Leeds Cricket Ground. Sophie Molineux, the captain of AUS-W, and Fatima Sana, the captain of PAK-W, will face each other in this blockbuster contest. AUS-W have been playing in dominant form throughout the tournament, and on the other hand, PAK-W are still looking for their first win in the tournament.
In the last game that Pakistan played against Bangladesh Women, in the 15th group stage match on 20th June, they lost by 23 runs, and that defeat made Pakistan Women’s chances of qualification even narrower, whereas Australia Women are in a dominating form and looking for the number one spot on the table, and today they will look to seal their spot for the play-offs.
Let’s take a look at the points table of Group A, Australia Women are standing with three out of three victories with a brilliant NRR of +4.319, and for Pakistan Women, the tournament has not been on good terms, as out of the three matches which they’ve played, they have lost all three and they are standing at number five with a -1.857 NRR, so it’s going to be table toppers vs table bottom team.
