Pakistan captain Fatima Sana expressed disappointment after her team’s 113-run loss to Australia in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. The defeat marked Pakistan’s fourth consecutive loss in the tournament. Sana emphasized the need for the team to address their weaknesses before their final group match against the Netherlands.
Reflecting on the match, Sana acknowledged that Pakistan’s performance was subpar. She emphasized the importance of accepting their shortcomings as a team and working on improvement. Despite extensive preparations before the World Cup, Sana highlighted the challenge of translating practice into on-field success.
Sana found positives in the performance of Pakistan’s new-ball bowlers, particularly Nashra Sandhu and Sadia Iqbal, who took two wickets each. However, she noted the team’s inability to maintain pressure as Australia’s batting lineup gained momentum. Sana called for better support for the bowling unit from the rest of the team.
Looking ahead, Pakistan aims to end their World Cup campaign positively with a strong showing against the Netherlands in their final Group A fixture. Sana hopes for improved contributions from all players to conclude the tournament on a high note.
