Skipper Fatima Sana: Fatima Sana's heroic all-round performance and another spirited bowling display helped Pakistan Women book their place in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 after securing a comprehensive 67-run victory over Thailand at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Thursday.

Skipper Fatima Sana emerged as the match-winner yet again — first with the bat when she rescued Pakistan with an unbeaten 62, and then with the ball, where she led the bowling unit with a three-wicket haul. The win sealed Pakistan’s spot in the mega event to be held later this year in India, making them the first team to qualify from the six-nation qualifier that also featured Bangladesh, West Indies, Ireland, Scotland and Thailand.

Batting first after winning the toss, Pakistan struggled for momentum early in their innings, losing wickets at regular intervals. The innings was reeling at 85 for 4 in the 32nd over when Fatima joined the experienced Sidra Amin at the crease. Together, the duo stitched a crucial 97-run partnership that not only stabilised the innings but also laid the platform for a competitive total.
