Rose Bowl Pitch & Southampton Weather Report
The Rose Bowl surface strongly favours teams batting first, with 4 of 5 Women’s T20Is at this venue won by the side setting a target.
Moreover, seamers enjoy early movement with the new ball, while spinners come into the game as the pitch slows down. Therefore, the toss-winning captain should bat first and apply scoreboard pressure.
As for the weather, Southampton in late June stays mild and mostly dry with temperatures around 19-22°C during the afternoon. However, scattered showers remain a recurring threat in an English summer, so a brief rain interruption can’t be discounted entirely.
PAK-W vs BAN-W Predicted Playing XIs
Here are the Predicted playing XI of both teams:
Pakistan Women (PAK-W)
Muneeba Ali (WK), Gull Feroza, Ayesha Zafar, Aliya Riaz, Fatima Sana (C), Saira Jabeen, Natalia Pervaiz, Tuba Hassan, Sadia Iqbal, Diana Baig, Nashra Sandhu.
Bangladesh Women (BAN-W)
Dilara Akter (WK), Sharmin Akhter, Sobhana Mostary, Nigar Sultana (C), Shorna Akter, Ritu Moni, Fahima Khatun, Nahida Akter, Rabeya Khan, Marufa Akter, Fariha Trisna.
PAK-W vs BAN-W Probable Best Performers
Here are the Best Performers from both sides:
Probable Best Batter: Fatima Sana
Fatima Sana captains Pakistan and carries 298 runs at an average of 74.50 and a strike rate of 186.25 across her last 10 T20Is, which makes her Pakistan’s most destructive batting option.
Moreover, the all-rounder’s ability to anchor an innings plus accelerate at the death gives Pakistan genuine finishing power. Consequently, a Sana fifty sets the platform for everything Pakistan want to achieve.
Probable Best Bowler: Sadia Iqbal
Sadia Iqbal leads the ICC Women’s T20I Bowling Rankings and brings 12 wickets at an economy of just 6.48 across her last 9 T20Is.
Additionally, the left-arm spinner’s accuracy through the middle overs should trouble Bangladesh’s middle order, which collapsed for 77/8 against Australia. Therefore, her spell against Nigar Sultana becomes the key battle.
Bangladesh X-Factor: Marufa Akter
Marufa Akter brings genuine new-ball threat as Bangladesh’s premier pace bowler and produced match-winning spells during the Global Qualifier campaign.
Furthermore, the right-arm seamer’s ability to swing the ball under overcast Southampton conditions could trouble Pakistan’s struggling top order. As a result, an early double-strike from Marufa could shift the balance decisively.

PAK-W vs BAN-W Match Prediction
This shapes up as the tightest contest of the group stage, with Forebet’s AI model splitting the two sides by just 3 projected runs (PAK 121 vs BAN 118).
Projected scores point to a low-scoring thriller. Pakistan look set for 120-135 batting first, while Bangladesh could push 115-130 on a surface that tests batting technique.
Sadia Iqbal’s spin plus Fatima Sana’s batting power tilt the scales very slightly toward Pakistan. However, Bangladesh carry the head-to-head edge (3-2 in recent fixtures) and Marufa’s new-ball threat could easily flip this script.
