Pakistan Women Reach Asian Games Cricket Semifinals After Win Over Thailand
Pakistan's women's cricket team advanced to the Asian Games 2026 semifinals after a narrow three-wicket win over Thailand in a rain-shortened 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, taking two wickets and scoring 21 runs. Despite Thailand's late fightback, Pakistan held their nerve to secure victory with two balls remaining and will face the winner of Sri Lanka vs Malaysia in the semifinals.
