PITCH REPORT AND CONDITIONS
The 9th Match of the Commonwealth Games Women’s Cricket Competition 2022 is going to be held at Edgbaston, Birmingham. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 185 is going to be tough to chase.

AUS-W VS PAK-W, 9TH T20I PROBABLE TOP PERFORMERS
PROBABLE BEST BATTER
MEG LANNING:
The Australian skipper roared back to form in their second match of the tournament with a scintillating unbeaten 36 off 21 deliveries to put the failure in the first match behind her. The second leading run-getter in the format, she would want to continue her belligerence with the bat.
PROBABLE BEST BOWLER
ALANA KING:
Young Aussie leg spinner Alana King had the Barbadian batters on the ropes with her masterful spin bowling and was a whisker away from claiming a hat-trick as she returned with incredible bowling figures of 4/8 in her four overs. She will be a handful against the Pakistani batters who struggled against spin in their previous encounter.
