Pakistan Women will take on United Arab Emirates Women in Match 9 of the Women’s Asia Cup 2024 at the Rangiri Dambulla Stadium in Dambulla on July 23. Pakistan were handed a heartbreaking seven-wicket defeat by India in their first game. They managed to bounce back with a nine-wicket win over Nepal in their second game, therefore stabilizing their already damaged Net Run Rate.
On the other hand, UAE are potentially out of the tournament with two losses in as many games and deteriorated NRR. They lost their first game against Nepal by six wickets and succumbed to India by a whopping 78-run margin in the subsequent game. The upcoming game might not hold much importance to UAE concerning their fallen playoff prospects, but Pakistan have a chance to solidify their spot with a win.
