Bristol, June 26 (IANS) Aiming for a maiden ICC Women’s T20 World Cup win, Netherlands face Pakistan in their final Group A game at the Bristol County Ground on Saturday with no hope of reaching the last four.

The Dutch are competing in the Women’s T20 World Cup for the first time and though they have succumbed to defeat three times so far they can end on a high, thanks to some inspired performances.

For their part, Pakistan will be looking to avoid going home winless after being routed by India, South Africa and Bangladesh. The team’s failure to handle spin consistently has put immense pressure on captain Fatima Sana, who has put in lonely efforts, first scoring 55 not out when the side was tottering on 50/8, before returning 3/16 against South Africa.

Bristol has been good for batsmen and bowlers so far – with new ball assistance being offered early in the piece before conditions become a little easier later on.

While the more experienced Pakistan team will have an edge over the Dutch, who head into the clash unafraid.
