Australia will take on Pakistan in Match 21 of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 on Tuesday, June 23, at Headingley, Leeds. Both teams have had contrasting campaigns in the tournament so far, as Australia have won all of their matches and are sitting comfortably atop the Group A points table.
They’re fresh from a rampaging 98-run victory against the Netherlands and will be eyeing to get a step closer to qualification with another thumping win in the upcoming game. On the other hand, Pakistan are yet to taste a victory and have already been knocked out of the tournament. They suffered a 23-run defeat against Bangladesh in the last fixture after failing to chase down 124.
Despite not having a chance of progressing ahead, Pakistan will aim to salvage some pride in the last two matches.
