Pakistan Women’s Cricket Team Prepares for Asia Cup T20 by Playing Against Men’s Teams
Pakistan's women's cricket team, led by captain Fatima Sana, is preparing for the 2026 Asia Cup T20 by playing competitive matches against men's teams from the Abdul Qadir Cricket Academy at Lahore's National Cricket Academy. These full T20 matches aim to improve decision-making and pressure handling ahead of the tournament starting August 28 in Dubai. Pakistan last reached the Asia Cup final in 2016 but had a disappointing recent T20 World Cup, winning only one of five matches. Fatima Sana highlighted the importance of staying calm in high-pressure situations.
