Pakistan Women's cricket team is taking an unconventional route to prepare for the Asia Cup T20 2026. Led by captain Fatima Sana, the team has been playing practice matches against men's teams at Lahore's National Cricket Academy to improve composure, decision-making and performance under pressure.

Can this unique strategy pay off in Dubai?
