Pakistan clear favourites
Pakistan put up a good batting display against India as Bismah Maroof and Nida Dar scored their fifties. Pakistan did lose 10 runs from their innings as the batters kept running on the danger area of the pitch even after getting warned repeated. This may not have made a huge difference but this should be something that they would like to work on.
The side expected to be unchanged.

Ireland was downright poor in their approach in the previous game against Australia. Against Pakistan, they would like to improve their performance, but the Asian giants are still the clear favourites.
The Guyana pitch so far has held up well and has been good for stroke play. When Pakistan and Ireland face off, it will be interesting to see how the pitch behaves. There should be some turn for the spinners, but it shouldn't stop the batswoman to hit through the line of the ball. It should be a sunny day with clear skies on top.
