Reflecting on Pakistan\u2019s recent performances and the match that didn\u2019t get completed, she emphasised the strength of her bowling unit and the need for improvement with the bat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe got a good start in the Power-play, but we lost a few wickets. We believed that if we could have made around 180, our bowlers could have restricted them. We all have a good belief in our bowling side - they\u2019ve been performing really well. But yeah, hopefully next time,\u201d she said after the washout.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She praised the pitch conditions and the effort of her bowlers, calling their performance \u201cawesome\u201d in the tournament so far.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think the pitch was good for bowlers, and the way our bowlers performed was awesome. We have a strong belief in our bowling attack, so hopefully, in the next matches, we\u2019ll get a good chance to show that again.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think, as a bowling unit, everyone is happy. But definitely, we need to improve on the batting side. We still have two matches left, and we\u2019ll try to play good cricket in those games.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Fatima also spoke about her personal experience bowling in Colombo and the unexpected assistance she found from the surface. \u201cWhen I came here, everyone told me it\u2019s a spin track. But when I bowled, I actually got a lot of seam movement and a good seaming surface. So I just tried to enjoy the pitch, and I got wickets in the Power-play as well. I really enjoyed bowling here.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think, as a bowling unit, everyone is happy. But definitely, we need to improve on the batting side. We still have two matches left, and we\u2019ll try to play good cricket in those games.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With two matches left in their campaign, Pakistan will be aiming to finish strongly and build momentum for the future. They will next take on South Africa on October 21 before wrapping up their campaign against Sri Lanka three days later.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
