Pakistan Women's Cricket Team Gathers with Men's Team in Leeds

The Pakistan women's cricket team recently had a friendly gathering with the national men's cricket team during a meet and greet event in Leeds, England. The women players received words of encouragement and well wishes from Captain Babar Azam, Senior Manager Wahab Riaz, star pacer Shaheen Afridi, and other team members for their upcoming matches in England. The women's team is scheduled to face England in the 3rd T20I match at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds.

On the other hand, the Pakistan men's cricket team is gearing up for their first match in a four-match T20I series against England at the same venue on May 22. In a recent encounter, England women secured a 2-0 series victory over Pakistan by defeating them in the second T20I match. The hosts posted a total of 144-6 while batting first, with notable contributions from Maia Bouchier, Alice Capsey, and Nat Sciver-Brunt.

Pakistan's bowling attack, led by Nida Dar, managed to restrict England's scoring, but the team fell short in their chase, finishing at 79 all out. England's spinners, particularly Sophie Ecclestone and Alice Capsey, played a crucial role in dismantling Pakistan's batting lineup. Capsey's all-round performance earned her the player of the match award.

Squads:

Pakistan: Gull Feroza, Sidra Ameen, Sadaf Shamas, Muneeba Ali (wk), Nida Dar (c), Aliya Riaz, Fatima Sana, Diana Baig, Waheeda Akhtar, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal

England: Maia Bouchier, Danielle Wyatt, Alice Capsey, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Heather Knight (c), Amy Jones (wk), Danielle Gibson, Sophie Ecclestone, Charlie Dean, Sarah Glenn, Lauren Bell

The Pakistan women's cricket team is looking forward to their match against England, while the men's team is preparing for their T20I series. Both teams are determined to showcase their skills and make their country proud on the international stage.
