Sri Lanka vs Pakistan Women: Preview
Sri Lanka stormed through Group B with a perfect record, collecting six points from three wins to finish top. They began with comfortable victories over the United Arab Emirates and Indonesia before facing a tough test from Bangladesh in their final group game.
Sri Lanka found themselves in serious trouble at 44 for 5 while chasing 115 on a sluggish Dubai surface. Harshitha Samarawickrama responded with an unbeaten 48 off 37 deliveries, holding the chase together and taking the defending champions across the line with four wickets to spare.
Pakistan struggled against India but bounced back strongly in their remaining two games to reach the semi-finals as the second-placed team in Group A. Wins over Thailand and Hong Kong ensured their progress, with a record-breaking display from Nashra Sandhu in the last group-stage game.
The left-arm spinner ripped through Hong Kong with 6 for 7, the finest figures by a Pakistan bowler in women's T20I cricket, as their opponents were dismissed for only 71. Shawaal Zulfiqar also made an important contribution, scoring 47 to give Pakistan a strong base and further evidence of their capacity to perform under pressure.
