Fatima Sana Wants Equal Crowds for Women’s Cricket Before 2028 World Cup

Pakistan’s women’s cricket captain wants fans to cheer as loudly for her team as they do for the men’s side.

Fatima Sana shared her wish in an interview with Cricblog TV, a cricket YouTube channel. She spoke to them at the Women’s BigBash League in Australia, where she plays for Perth Scorchers.

A host asked if men’s and women’s cricket could ever reach the same level in Pakistan. Her answer was simple. “Obviously, playing sports matters, whether it’s for men or women,” she said. “So, I wish they would be at the same level.”
She pointed to crowd size as a key difference. “The way the men play, the crowds come [to cheer for them], I wish that happens for women too,” she said.

Sana said both men’s and women’s cricket are growing around the world. She wants Pakistan to support both equally.
