Pakistan cricket team is all set to battle it out against England cricket team in Women's World Cup 2017 match today (Tuesday) at Leicester.

The Pakistan team won the toss and captain Sana Mir unsurprisingly opted to field first. The match, which was scheduled to begin at PST 2:30PM was delayed for half-an-hour due to rain.

The teams of both the sides remain unchanged. Interestingly, this will be the 50th appearance of England?s Dani Wyatt, who also received a special cap to commemorate the day.

Pakistan?s lineup includes 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 and Ghulam Fatima.

While England players includes Tammy Beaumont, Sarah Taylor (wk), Heather Knight (c), Natalie Sciver, Fran Wilson, Danielle Wyatt, Katherine Brunt, Jenny Gunn, Anya Shrubsole, Danielle Hazell, Alex Hartley, Georgia Elwiss, Beth Langston, Laura Marsh and Lauren Winfield.

Seeking redemption

Pakistan is all set to pick up itself and redeem after suffering a three-wicket defeat against South Africa.

South Africa slipped to 177-7 chasing 207 to win before Sune Luus (15no) and Shabnim Ismail (22no) held their nerve.

Moreover, host team England also suffered a shocking 35-run defeat against India in their opener in Derby on Saturday, after being bowled out for 246 in reply to their opponents' 281-3.

Fran Wilson top scored for England with 81 and captain Heather Knight chipped in with 46 but they could not stop an inspired India, for whom Smriti Mandhana smashed 90 from 72 balls.
