Pakistan Women’s U-19 to Compete Against Malaysia for Fifth Place

The Pakistan Women’s U-19 cricket team is set to face Malaysia in the fifth and sixth-place playoff of the ACC Women’s U-19 T20 Asia Cup. The playoff match is scheduled for December 17, 2024, and will take place in Kuala Lumpur.

In their group stage matches, Pakistan’s team encountered tough competition. They failed to qualify for the Super Four stage after experiencing losses in both their games in Group A. Pakistan was defeated by India and Nepal, with margins of nine wickets and six wickets respectively.

The outcomes from the group stage were decisive in determining the teams that advanced. From Group A, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh performed strongly, securing their spots in the Super Four stage. These results meant that Pakistan had to settle for a place in the playoff for fifth and sixth positions.

The venue for these matches, Kuala Lumpur, has been hosting the tournament and will continue to host remaining games, including the final, which is set for December 22, 2024. This setup provides teams and fans alike with a central location for a series of high-profile matches.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan Women’s U-19 team plans to return home shortly after their last match in the tournament. Their return is scheduled for Thursday, following their playoff against Malaysia.

This match is critical for both Pakistan and Malaysia, as they look to finish their campaigns on a positive note. The tournament has provided a platform for young female cricketers across Asia to showcase their skills and gain valuable international experience. The rivalry for the fifth spot promises to be a competitive encounter, highlighting the potential and talent within these teams.
