Australia have won an important toss against Pakistan in a crucial Group A encounter of Women's T20 World Cup 2024 and have decided to bowl first. The pitch is a fresh one and Australian captain want her bowlers to utilise the moisture on the pitch and have brought in Tayla Vlaeminck in place of Grace Harris. Pakistan, on the other hand would be without their regular skipper Fatima Sana in this game and Muneeba Ali is leading them for the first time.

Pakistan have made two changes with Sadaf Shamas and Iram Javed replacing Fatima Sana and Gul Feroza. The loss of Fatima Sana their skipper is big blow as she provides balance with her all-round skills and it would be interesting to see how Pakistan go about their business against the might of Australia without their regular skipper.
