In their ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup match against New Zealand in Christchurch on Saturday, Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof won the toss and decided to bowl first.

While New Zealand still has a mathematical possibility of making the semi-finals, Pakistan is playing for dignity in this tournament after winning only once in their first six games.

To have any hope of making it in, the White Ferns need a stunning victory that raises their net run rate, followed by India and England losing badly in their last matches on Sunday.

With veteran seamer Lea Tahuhu out with a hamstring injury, Rosemary Mair has been named as her substitute, while Pakistan has made two changes to their playing XI.

Nahida Khan and Aiman Anwer aren’t on the list, but Muneeba Ali and Anam Amin are.
