Pakistan survive Thailand scare to make Asian Games semi-finals
Pakistan stuttered through their chase of 92 with a mini-collapse of 4 for 11 before Fatima Sana rescued them yet again
Pakistan, two-time gold medalists, clinched a dramatic three-wicket victory over Thailand in the Asian Games Women's cricket semi-finals to secure their place in the next round. Facing a challenging target of 92 runs from 11 overs, the Pakistani team fought their way to the top after experiencing multiple wickets falling and experiencing a wet outfield that delayed the start of the match by nearly two hours.
Pakistan opted to bowl first, and Thailand quickly seized the advantage, posting a respectable 91 for 4 in 11 overs. Key performances from Fatima Sana, Eyman Fatima, Tuba Hassan, Eman Naseer, and Umm-e-Hani helped Pakistan navigate through the pressure and score the necessary runs to triumph in a nail-biting finish. The match ended with Pakistan winning by three wickets, advancing to face Bangladesh in the semi-finals on September 20.
