Pakistan Women Advance to Asian Games Cricket Semifinals After Win Over Thailand
Pakistan women's cricket team advanced to the semifinals of the 2026 Asian Games after a narrow three-wicket win over Thailand in a rain-reduced 11-over quarterfinal at Nisshin. Thailand posted 91 for four, anchored by Nannapat Koncharoenkai's 49 runs. Pakistan's captain Fatima Sana contributed with both bat and ball, scoring 21 runs and taking two wickets. Despite losing key players at intervals, Pakistan held their nerve to chase down the target, with Gul Feroza stepping in as wicketkeeper after Muneeba Ali left the tournament due to her mother's illness. Pakistan will face the winner of Sri Lanka and Malaysia next.
