Pakistan captain Fatima Sana has arrived in Dubai to rejoin the national squad ahead of tomorrow’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 clash against New Zealand at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Fatima had left the tournament midway to attend her father’s funeral in Karachi on 10 October. She missed Pakistan’s match against Australia, where the team suffered a humiliating nine-wicket loss under the captaincy of Muneeba Ali.
Pakistan are currently placed in fourth place in Group B with one victory and two losses after three games. They will play their last match against New Zealand, which is a must-win game for them to keep their hopes alive for the semi-final.
The Green Shirts have to beat New Zealand by a substantial margin and then hope for other results to go their way.

Fatima Sana’s return will be a big boost for Pakistan considering their struggling performance against Australia in her absence.
It’s worth noting that the ongoing tournament is Fatima’s first as captain and she has been leading Pakistan from the front with four wickets in two games along with 43 runs at a strike-rate of 153.57.
Fatima Sana played a key role in Pakistan’s victory over Sri Lanka in their tournament opener and earned the Player of the Match award for her performance.
