Pakistan got their ICC Women's T20 World Cup campaign up and running with a 31 run win against Sri Lanka in Sharjah on Thursday (3 October). After scoring 116 runs, helped largely by Fatima Sana's 30-run knock, Pakistan bowlers kept the islanders at bay with Sadia Iqbal (3/17) the chief difference-maker with the ball.
It came with the knowledge and fact that Pakistan women's cricket team have not been paid for four months now. As per Cricbuzz, the players, who are currently on a 23-month contract with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), starting 1 August, 2023, haven't been paid since June 2024.
