Pakistan Women beat Sri Lanka Women by 31 runs in Match No. 2 of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. This match was played at the Sharjah cricket stadium, where Pakistan’s captain decided to bat first after winning the toss, but this decision of Fatima Sana was looking like a blunder as Pakistan was bundled out for just 116 runs. During the innings break, it was looking like an easy chase for the Sri Lankan team. But Pakistani bowlers had other plans, as they restricted Sri Lanka to a mere 85/9 in 20 overs, and the majority of the damage was done by Sadia Iqbal and Fatima Sana.
