## Form Guide and Preview

Australia have been imperious — a 65-run demolition of South Africa, a 9-wicket annihilation of Bangladesh, and a 98-run hammering of Netherlands. Sophie Molineux’s side look every bit the title favourites, with Phoebe Litchfield rediscovering her best form and the bowling attack barely letting opponents settle.

Pakistan, by contrast, have endured a torrid campaign — losses to India, South Africa, and a gutting 23-run defeat to Bangladesh that confirmed their elimination with two games still to play. Captain Fatima Sana will be searching for pride and individual performances rather than tournament survival. The head-to-head tells its own story: Australia have never lost a T20I to Pakistan, winning 14 of their 16 meetings.
