Pakistan women’s cricket team has reached Dubai on Monday to participate in the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024.
The women’s team departed from Lahore earlier this morning for the mega-event, which will commence on October 3 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Pakistan is placed in Group A of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, along with Australia, India, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka, while South Africa is grouped with Bangladesh, England, Scotland and the West Indies.
Following warm-up matches against Scotland and Bangladesh on 28 and 30 September, respectively, Pakistan will face Sri Lanka on 3 October in Sharjah, followed by matches against India on 6 October in Dubai, Australia on 11 October in Dubai and New Zealand on 14 October in Dubai.
Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), has expressed his best wishes for the women’s team.
“The players of women’s team are gifted and talented. I hope they will perform well in the tournament,” said Naqvi.
Meanwhile, newly appointed captain Fatima Sana shared that she is not under pressure ahead of leading Pakistan in the mega-event.
“I have a lot of support from the management and the players, so it doesn’t feel different,” stated Fatima.
“We should believe in playing well and carry that belief forward. When you play against a strong team, you play with more intensity. When facing a team like Australia, you must focus on giving your best.”
