Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka in the opening game of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2024. The team secured their first win in four meetings against Asia Cup champions and opened their campaign with a win. The Green Army had lost four out of their last six series and 16 out of 27 games made a sensational start to their World Cup campaign.
Fatima Sana’s side defied the form book. She is the youngest among the captain’s lot to lead in a Women’s T20 World Cup. The 22-year-old led the side from the front. She made runs picked up crucial wickets and gave an all-round performance for her team to register the first win. She also became the youngest captain after Australia’s Meg Lanning to lead her side to a victory in a Women’s World Cup match. This showcases her natural leadership role.
Amidst the controversy between the Men’s Team and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Babar Azam recently stepped down as the captain of the white-ball team. Babar needs to learn how to lead a side with little experience in major tournaments. It should be a learning for every Pakistan Cricket Men’s Team. Especially for the players who are in contention to become the next captain for the Men in Green.
Fatima Sana is born as a natural leader
Does the Pakistan Men’s Cricket Team need to learn from Fatima Sana’s leadership attitude? Fatima’s knock of 30 runs helped Pakistan score 116 while batting first. Then they used the conditions to stymie Sri Lanka’s chase. Sana made a critical early breakthrough by removing Sri Lanka opener Chamari Athapathu, giving her team hope of defending a small first-innings score. This showcased her strong mentality despite being young.
Pakistan Men’s Team has failed to perform in the major tournaments. They have given the worst result to their fans. However, the Women’s team has succeeded with the best of start beating the Asian Champions. They will be one to watch out for in the World Cup this year and they can upset much more sides going forward in the tournament.
