Hello and welcome to CricketCountry’s live updates of match No. 5 between England and Pakistan of ICC Women’s World Cup 2017. I am Aditya Sahay and I will provide live scorecard and intriguing posts from the social media. The tournament has been so good so far. India, the ever-improving team, beat England, the favourites. South Africa, the dark horses, beat Pakistan, the unpredictable. In all, the matches so far have been interesting and provided unexpected results. All said and done, England are three-time world cup champions while Pakistan are still in the hunt of glory. However, this time around both the teams are looking to seek their first victory in the tournament.
England, one of the big three of women’s cricket, will surely be one of the toughest for Pakistan to defeat in the tournament. However, England Women started their journey in this tournament with a defeat to India. They will be nervous as well as eager to win the match and register their first victory. On the other hand, Pakistan, too, lost their opener to South Africa, which leaves both the teams in the same boat.

Pakistan Women: Ayesha Zafar, Nahida Khan, Javeria Khan, Bismah Maroof, Nain Abidi, Kainat Imtiaz, Asmavia Iqbal, Sana Mir (c), Sidra Nawaz (wk), Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Yousuf, Marina Iqbal, Diana Baig, Waheeda Akhtar, Ghulam Fatima
