Pak women players eye WC glory
Pak women's cricket team have raised their game remarkably in recent months and are confident about making impact at this year's ICC World Cup. PHOTO: AFP Pakistan women's team booked a spot in the Cricket World Cup 2025 after a brilliant run in the Qualifier earlier this month. While India is the official host of the upcoming tournament, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has confirmed that the national women's team will not be traveling to the country. "Pakistan's participation in the next global competition would adhere to the Fusion Formula [the same structure decided upon before the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025]," Mohsin Naqvi said. Ahead of the World Cup 2025, Pakistan women's team player Aliya Riaz sat down with Sidra Amin and Shawaal Zulfiqar for a chat on the PCB podcast. The trio discussed their qualification for the tournament set to be hosted by India and their preparation for it. "Appearing in the World Cup is quite a challenge," Shawaal Zulfiqar said when asked about her preparation. "Big teams appear in it. We've done camps, and we'll continue doing them. So we'll grow and it will be beneficial to us. We are hopeful of doing well," she added. Sidra Amin emphasised the importance of preparation and adaptability to the conditions they would encounter in the tournament. "We'll plan it series by series. The bigger an event, greater the pressure, so we'll work on things we can control. We are practising well, we'll bring an improvement on that. We have to adapt ourselves to the kind of wickets we have," she said. The Pakistan women's team batter said that the side will plan with the idea that their games will be in Asian conditions in mind. "So we'll have to plan our shots, rotation of strike accordingly," Sidra Amir added. Sidra topped the batting charts for Pakistan in the ICC Women's CWC Qualifier 2025, scoring 225 runs from five matches at an average of 45, including three half-centuries. Nida Dar opts out of cricket amid mental health struggles Nida Dar of Pakistan during the 3rd Women's Metro Bank ODI between England and Pakistan at The Cloud County Ground on May 29, 2024 in Chelmsford, England. - AFP Former Pakistan women's cricket team captain Nida Dar has announced a temporary break from cricket to focus on her mental health. The seasoned all-rounder took to social media late Thursday to share her decision, citing the toll that recent personal and professional events have taken on her well-being. "I would like to inform that alot of things have happened in the past with me personally and professionally and this has affected my mental health. For this reason I am taking a break for a while from cricket to focus on myself. Please respect the privacy. Thank you. #respect," Dar posted. The 38-year-old has been a stalwart for Pakistan, featuring in 130 T20 Internationals and 99 One-Day Internationals. She was recently part of the training camp for the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Faisalabad, having been included among the 19 shortlisted players. However, despite returning to training, Dar was not selected in the final 15-member squad after failing to meet the required fitness standards. Subsequently, she also opted out of the upcoming National T20 Cup, choosing instead to step away from competitive cricket altogether for the time being. Meanwhile, the Pakistan women's team recently secured qualification for the upcoming ICC Women's World Cup, slated to take place in India later this year. They concluded an impressive campaign at the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier in Lahore with five consecutive victories, including a seven-wicket win over Bangladesh in their final match on April 19 at the Lahore City Cricket Association (LCCA) Ground. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi praised the women's team for their successful campaign during a visit to the LCCA Ground. However, he reiterated the PCB's stance that the national women's team will not travel to India for the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, aligning with the "hybrid model" that was implemented ahead of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy earlier this year. "Pakistan will not travel to India, as this formula has already been agreed upon," Naqvi said during his visit.

Pak breeze past Scotland, WI beat Ireland
Pak women's team players celebrate dismissal of another Scotland player in ICC Women's WC qualifier on Friday. PHOTO: PCB Pakistan rose to the top of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 Qualifier tally with their second win on a trot as they edged Scotland in key clash here on Friday. Chasing 187, the hosts closed the game with six wickets in hand, and have four points from two outings at the tournament. Muneeba Ali (71) and Aliya Riaz (64) scored impressive half-centuries to seize a rain-affected game at the Lahore City Cricket Association Ground. Earlier, having won the toss, Pakistan elected to field first after rain had reduced the contest to 32 overs a side. The hosts got off to a strong start with Sadia Iqbal and Diana Baig removing both the Scotland openers in quick succession in the powerplay. Skipper Katherine Bryce then went on to construct a gritty knock of 91 runs off 96 deliveries, including 10 fours and a maximum. Ailsa Lister (31) and Sarah Bruce (21) provided vital support before succumbing as Scotland got to 123/4 from 22.1 overs. Four wickets down, Scotland were unable to make the most of the platform laid as Pakistan's bowling attack tightened the screws. Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana led the charge, nabbing a four-wicket haul as Scotland were restricted for 182/9. In another match on Friday, West Indies held their nerve to beat Ireland in a thriller. Skipper Hayley Matthews led from the front, snapping four wickets. Defending a target of 182, the Windies bowlers kept calm in a nervy affair to close out the game in the final over of a rain-shortened contest. With Ireland having compiled 50 runs in the Powerplay, the West Indies skipper broke the deadlock, cleaning up her Irish counterpart Gaby Lewis before grabbing the catch of Orla Prendergast off her own bowling. Matthews would eventually seal the deal for the Windies, nabbing the final wicket of Arlene Kelly to wrap up a six-run win. While Amy Hunter (48) and Laura Delaney (32) were able to make a mark with the bat, Ireland were unable to close down the chase, despite having pushed the game in their favour with the ball. With a loss in their opening game to Scotland, the Windies were on a hunt for a win to get back on track in the hunt for a Cricket World Cup spot. The game was shortened to 33 overs a side owing to showers earlier in the day. Batting first at the Gaddafi Stadium, Stefanie Taylor and Chinelle Henry (46 each), as well as Zaida James (36), had helped avert an early collapse after Ireland removed in-form skipper Hayley Matthews and Qiana Joseph in the Powerplay.
