Under Fatima Sana’s leadership, Pakistani Women have gone undefeated in their first four games in the Women’s ODI World Cup Qualifiers. With just two games remaining in the qualifications, the team has had a strong start to the season.
The squad has finally guaranteed a spot in the forthcoming Women’s ODI World Cup, which will be held in India, thanks to these performances. For the team that has been having trouble in the game lately, which has caused their ODI ranking to drop, this is a fantastic outcome. In an attempt to continue their winning record, the team will now play Bangladesh Women in their final qualifying encounter.
In addition to the team’s qualification, it has been revealed that the World Cup would use a hybrid format, meaning Pakistan will not be flying to India to compete. The Indian Express reports that Thiruvananthapuram, the only shortlisted location with immigration and visa services, has been selected by the BCCI as one of the tournament’s venues. It ends up looking a lot like this season’s Champions Trophy. Following their qualification, Pakistan will also play their matches in neighbouring nations. It is known that Guwahati, Visakhapatnam, Mullanpur, and Indore are the other locations on the shortlist.
Pakistani Women best performer in the qualifications
Fatima Sana, the captain of Pakistan, has been an outstanding player due to her remarkable all-around performance. Along with the vital 103 runs she has scored down the order, Fatima has been the team’s top wicket-taker, with her medium pacers claiming 10 wickets at an average of 10.20 and economy of 3.77.
Top order batsman Sidra Amin, who has scored 192 runs at an average of 48 for Pakistan in the qualifiers, and left arm spinner Nashara Sandhu, who has claimed nine wickets at an average of 13.55 in the four games thus far, are among the other standout performances.
