Strongest Pakistan Women Playing XI In Women’s World Cup 2025: Squad And All You Need To Know 

Pakistan Women will make their sixth appearance at the marquee ICC event in the Women’s World Cup 2025. The tournament will kick off on September 30, hosted in India and Sri Lanka. Ahead of their campaign opener, let’s take a look at the team profile, fixtures and the strongest playing XI. 

Pakistan Women – Team Profile for Women’s World Cup 2025

Captain: Fatima Sana

Coach: Mohammad Wasim

Previous Edition: 8th position 

Pakistan will be aiming to reach the semifinals of the Women’s World Cup for the first time ever. They have made five appearances before, with the best result being a fifth-place finish in 2009. In the previous edition, they finished last with just one win in seven games. 

Pakistan have played 11 ODIs since the start of 2024, winning five and losing as many. They are hosting South Africa Women for three ODIs ahead of the multi-national event. Earlier this year, they topped the World Cup Qualifier with five wins in five games. 

Fatima Sana will lead the team in the upcoming tournament, while Muneeba Ali will be the deputy. Given the political tensions, Pakistan will play all their league matches in Sri Lanka.

Strengths 

• The spin department will be the biggest strength for Pakistan in this tournament. 
• They have a good variety in the spin attack, with Sadia Iqbal, Rameen Shamim, and Nashra Sandhu doing well in recent times. 

Weaknesses 

• Pakistan’s batting is a major weakness for them in ODIs, with their batters unable to bat long or score quickly. 
• None of their batters have averaged 40 or have a strike rate of over 80 in ODIs since the start of 2024.
• The pace bowling attack can also be a huge worry for them. 
• The Pakistan team does not have a good record against the full-member sides, which means they would have to play really well to win even one game. 

Women’s World Cup 2025 Verdict for Pakistan Women 

Pakistan Women are one of the weakest sides in the tournament, with multiple issues plaguing them. Despite playing in familiar conditions, they will find it hard to compete against other top sides in the fifty-over format. A group stage exit seems to be the likely outcome.
