Pakistan Women and Australia Women face off in the fifth match of the Women’s T20I Tri-Series 2022 on Saturday, July 23. The Bready Cricket Club in Bready, Northern Ireland is the venue for this clash.

Australia, led by Meg Lanning, have clearly been the standout team in the series thus far. Having won two out of three matches, the Aussies are sitting at the top of the points table with a stupendous net run rate of +3.230.

On Thursday, July 21, they defeated Ireland by 63 runs and booked their place in the final of the series. After being put in to bat first, Australia lost their openers, Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney, early on. Thereafter, Lanning and Tahlia McGrath took charge.

The duo stitched together a 135-run partnership and helped the Aussies score 182 for the loss of four wickets. While Lanning scored 74 off 49, McGrath chipped in with a 45-ball 70, laced with 11 fours. Georgina Dempsey picked up two wickets for Ireland.

Ireland also lost their openers early, but Orla Prendergast and Laura Delany played their shots with aplomb. But once they got out, the Irish innings capsized. Megan Schutt, Jess Jonassen and Alana King picked up two wickets apiece for the Australian team.

Pakistan, led by Bismah Maroof, are placed second in the points table and are already through to the final. They will look to secure a win and keep themselves in good stead ahead of the final.
