England will take on Pakistan on Wednesday, October 15, in the ongoing ICC Women's ODI World Cup. The four-time World Cup Champions England have played three and won all three games so far, while Pakistan are win less in three games. However, the Fatima Sana-led side can take a lot of heart from how they managed to sweat Australia for a win in their last game.
Pakistan's problem has been their patchy batting, which has let them down on multiple occasions in the showpiece event. Barring Sidra Amin, the rest of the batters have not taken ownership to bat with more responsibility and support the senior batters. Lack of runs from Muneeba Ali and Aliya Riaz has hurt the side, with the pressure immensely falling on Sidra to lead the way with the bat in hand. On the other hand, England has found different players to step up in three of their wins.

ENG-W vs PAK-W: Match Preview
England were tested by Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in two of their wins. Against the former, Heather Knight stepped up and guided England through the tricky chase of 180, while against Sri Lanka, skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt scored a match-winning hundred and enabled her side to score a fighting total. Despite the openers struggling to get the team off to a good start, England have found ways to keep the pressure on opposition through their experienced middle-order.
Bowling has also looked good for England, with the inclusion of Linsey Smith bolstering the spin attack. The left-arm spinner was instrumental in bundling South Africa out for just 69. England's solid depth is coming to the rescue this World Cup, and it remains to be seen which team can challenge them. On the other hand, the story has been vastly different for Pakistan, with three losses and yet again a bottom-placed finish looming large. Another loss against England, and it's curtains for the Fatima Sana-led side in this World Cup.
