BD-W vs PK-W Dream11 Prediction
Can Pakistan overcome Bangladesh challenge to make a winning start to the World Cup qualifier?
Both the teams are heading into the contest after facing contrasting fortunes in their recent ODI series. While Bangladesh defeated Zimbabwe in all three games of their series, Pakistan lost all three of their games at home versus West Indies. Historically, though, Pakistan women have won 6 and lost 4 of their 10 ODIs against Bangladesh. That should give them confidence and edge ahead of this game.
