NZ-W vs PAK-W 19th Match Prediction of ICC WWC 2025:Who Will Win?

As the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 heats up, New Zealand Women will take on Pakistan Women in the 19th match at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, on Saturday, October 18. Both teams are desperate for a win, but with their contrasting forms, the White Ferns enter as clear favourites. So let’s have a look at NZ-W vs PAK-W 19th Match Prediction of ICC WWC 2025.

New Zealand Women’s Current Form

New Zealand Women have endured a mixed campaign so far. With just three points from four matches, they find themselves under pressure to keep their semi-final hopes alive. Their only win came against Bangladesh Women by a commanding 100-run margin before rain spoiled their following game.

Skipper Sophie Devine has been in sensational form, amassing 259 runs in three innings at an impressive average of 86.33. Her consistency with the bat has kept New Zealand afloat. Lea Tahuhu, meanwhile, continues to shine with the ball, taking 7 wickets at an average of just 13. If the White Ferns are to stay in contention, they will depend heavily on this duo once again.

Pakistan Women’s Struggles Continue

Pakistan Women’s campaign has been disappointing, sitting at the bottom of the points table with no wins from four games. Their last two matches were marred by rain, including a promising one against England where they had the upper hand before the game was abandoned.

Captain Fatima Sana has led the bowling attack admirably, taking 9 wickets in four matches, while Sidra Ameen has been their top scorer with 116 runs. Despite their spirited performances, Pakistan’s batting collapses have been their biggest concern, something they must fix quickly to avoid another early exit.

Pitch and Weather Conditions

The Colombo pitch is a balanced surface that supports both batters and spinners. Early seam movement could test openers, but set batters will find value in their shots. The average first-innings total this year has been around 240+. However, with rain predicted, interruptions could play a key role.

Match Prediction: NZ-W vs PAK-W

Historically, New Zealand have dominated Pakistan in ODIs, winning 15 of their 17 encounters. Given their superior form and stronger batting lineup, the White Ferns are likely to continue their dominance.
