Fatima Sana’s Pakistan qualify for Women’s ODI World Cup to be hosted in India; tournament set to be in hybrid model

Fatima Sana-led Pakistan kept up their unbeaten run at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 Qualifier and sealed their spot at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, to be hosted by India later this year. The hosts made it four wins out of four as they thrashed Thailand by 87 runs in Lahore on Thursday. Pakistan’s qualification now confirms that the tournament will be held in a hybrid model as they won’t be travelling to India for the tournament that is scheduled to start late September. Hosting the tournament for the first time, Pakistan started off on a strong note by winning a thriller against Ireland who at one stage looked to be cruising to an upset win in the opener. They then followed it up with a 6-wicket win against Scotland and a 65-run victory against the West Indies. With f...

It’s beyond a game, that’s the beauty of India-Pakistan cricket, says Pakistan coach Aaqib Javed

If one thought Pakistan coming to Dubai could ease the pressure of them playing in front of home fans, in a must-win contest against India, their head coach Aaqib Javed seemed more intent on treating Sunday’s clash as ‘beyond a game’. He wouldn’t stop there, and even claimed: ‘If you remove this pressure, what’s left in the Pakistan-India game? Passion and pressure is what is needed to show a player his performance.” Already facing pressure of expectations of doing well in the first ICC event they are hosting in 29 years, they go into the game against India with the added pressure of this being a must-win fixture. “There is no game you can say you play without pressure.

IND vs PAK: Shahid Afridi says India has more match-winners than Pakistan

IND vs PAK: Ahead of the big India vs Pakistan clash in the group stage of the Champions Trophy in Dubai on Sunday, former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi has handed a damning indictment of the current Pakistan team. Afridi claimed that the current team that is looking to defend its Champions Trophy title doesn’t have players who know how to win a game single-handedly. “If we talk about match-winners, I’d say that India has more match-winners compared to Pakistan. A match-winner is someone who knows how to win the game single-handedly. Right now, we don’t have such players in Pakistan,” Shahid Afridi said on JioHotstar for a special show in the build up to the India vs Pakistan game.
