Pitch Report
A decent batting track awaits the two sides in Lincoln Green with little help on offer for the bowlers. The batters should enjoy the ball coming onto the bat nicely, although they will be wary of movement with the new ball. As the match progresses, the spinners could come into play with variations in pace being the key. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 250-260 being a good score at the venue.
Today’s PK-W vs BD-W Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Shamima Sultana: Shamima Sultana is a good player of both pace and spin. Although she didn't have the best of outings against England, one can bank on Sultana to get some crucial runs today.
Batter
Nahida Khan: Like Sultana, Nahida Khan didn't have the best of outings against England either, albeit versus New Zealand. However, Nahida has some experience to fall back on and given her knack for scoring big runs at the top of the order, she is one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounder
Nida Dar: Star all-rounder Nida Dar put in a sensational performance against New Zealand, picking up a few wickets and scoring a crucial fifty in the middle order. Nida is perhaps Pakistan's go-to player with both the bat and ball and with form on her side, she is a must-have in your PK-W vs BD-W Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Jahanara Alam: Jahanara Alam is Bangladesh's best pacer in white-ball cricket and has also featured in the Women's IPL in the past. Although Alam didn't feature in the thick of things against England, she will be hoping to get back into form in this game. With conditions suiting her as well, Alam should be a good addition to your PK-W vs BD-W Dream11 fantasy team.
