Preview for Fantasy
Pakistan and Thailand both have been knocked out of the World Cup already and this is merely a dead rubber. However, both the teams would be looking to end the fantasy games tournament on a high. Having said that, Pakistan are the clear favourites given the fact that Thailand Women are too new to this level and must have got an idea now and will be keen to put up an improved performance before bowling out of the competition.The Javeria Khan-led side, however, would be disappointed to be knocked out after starting their campaign with a win over 2016 champions West Indies. But they went down against England and South Africa. Their regular skipper Bismah Maroof getting ruled out of the tournament didn’t help either.
