This achievement marks a major milestone for Pakistan women’s cricket, inspiring young players across the country and raising the international profile of Pakistan’s women’s team.
The ICC praised Sadia’s consistency and impact, highlighting her as one of the most formidable spinners in the global T20I circuit today.
