Fatima Sana Inspires Pakistan to Thrilling Victory Over Sri Lanka in WT20WC 2024
In a stunning turnaround during the Pak vs SL clash at the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan captain Fatima Sana led her team to an unexpected victory. Despite being bowled out for a mere 116 runs and losing fast bowler Diana Baig to injury early in the game, Sana’s all-round performance was the game-changer.

It was Fatima’s quickfire 30 at No. 7 that pushed Pakistan’s total, but the team still looked out of the contest. However, it was Sana’s brilliant captaincy and smart bowling decisions that turned the tide. With Sri Lanka struggling on the slow Sharjah pitch, Pakistan’s spinners, led by Omaima Sohail and Sadia Iqbal, dominated the Pak vs SL encounter.
Pakistan Seals Victory in Pak vs SL
Sri Lanka, led by their superstar Chamari Athapaththu, smelled victory when they restricted Pakistan. Athapaththu even took three crucial wickets to tighten the noose. But when Pakistan turned to their spinners, the game changed completely. Omaima Sohail and Sadia Iqbal ripped through Sri Lanka’s batting order, while Sana backed up her captaincy with two critical wickets, including Athapaththu’s.
The Sharjah pitch worked in Pakistan’s favor as Sri Lanka struggled to chase down the modest target. In the end, only two batters from Sri Lanka managed to get into double figures, and the team collapsed under the pressure.
This was just Fatima’s fourth match as captain, and she’s already proven her leadership with this unforgettable win. Next, Pakistan faces India in what promises to be another thrilling contest, and with momentum on their side, all eyes will be on Sana’s squad.
