Pakistan Women Play T20 Matches Against Men to Prepare for 2026 Asia Cup
Pakistan's women's cricket team, led by captain Fatima Sana, prepared for the 2026 Asia Cup T20 by playing competitive matches against male players from the Abdul Qadir Cricket Academy at Lahore's National Cricket Academy. These full T20 games aimed to improve decision-making and pressure handling, addressing challenges seen in their recent T20 World Cup performance where they won only one of five matches. Pakistan seeks its first Asia Cup title, having reached but lost the finals in 2012 and 2016.
