Pakistan women's cricket team secured their first victory of the ACC Women’s T20 Asia Cup 2026 with a convincing 35-run triumph over Thailand in the fifth match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Defending a modest target of 120 runs, Pakistan's disciplined bowling restricted Thailand to a paltry 84/8 in their 20 overs.
Natthakan Chantham was Thailand's top scorer with 14, while Chanida Sutthiruang chipped in with 25 off just 24 balls. However, Thailand struggled to build any momentum during their chase. Pakistan's captain, Fatima Sana, led the bowling attack with impressive figures of 3/11 from four overs, while Tuba Hassan claimed two wickets.
The victory propelled Pakistan into second place in Group A, trailing India on net run rate, while Thailand dropped to third with two points from their three group-stage matches. In the first innings, Pakistan faltered early, losing Shawaal Zulfiqar and Gull Feroza for one and zero respectively, before Muneeba Ali and Sadaf Shamas steadied the ship with a crucial 54-run partnership for the fourth wicket.
