    "editor1": "T20 World Cup Group: Pakistan have won the toss and elected to bat first against Netherlands in their 2026 Women\u2019s T20 World Cup Group A clash at the County Ground in Bristol on Saturday.<p>With both sides already knocked out of contention for the semi-finals, Saturday\u2019s fixture will have no impact on the qualification chances of the rest of the teams \u2013 Australia, India and South Africa. Both Pakistan and Netherlands are winless and a win for either of them will mean ending the competition on a high.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After winning the toss, Pakistan captain Fatima Sana said Aliya Riaz and Rameen Shamim have been left out, with Tuba Hassan and Eyman Fatima included. \u201cIt looks like a batting track, so we just try to put the maximum total here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI think we just need to play attacking cricket in this game because we know that we didn\u2019t perform in the last matches. So we just try to play good cricket today. We discussed a lot (about run-outs), and we will try to execute better plans today.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Netherlands skipper Babette de Leede said Heather Siegers is back in the playing eleven for Myrthe van den Raad. \u201cI think we have really good game plans today. We\u2019ve played on this ground before our last game, so we know what to expect. So we played some top nations, so we think today is the day that we can have our first win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI think discipline is going to be massive. We\u2019re going to hit our areas with the ball. In the field, we\u2019ve dropped some catches in this tournament. Today our fielding needs to be really sharp. They have some quality batters, so we have to get them out early and restrict their total.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Playing XIs<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI think discipline is going to be massive.
