Pakistan open Women's Emerging Nations Trophy against Bangladesh
The 10-team, 30-match tournament runs in Ajman from November 12 to 25, with the final at Karwan Sports Club Cricket Ground.
Pakistan's women will begin the ICC Women's Emerging Nations Trophy against Bangladesh on November 12 in Ajman, in the United Arab Emirates, according to the schedule reported by ProPakistani after the International Cricket Council released the full fixture list.
Pakistan sit in Group B with Bangladesh, Thailand, the Netherlands and Zimbabwe. Their group campaign is squeezed into four days: Bangladesh on November 12, Thailand on November 13, the Netherlands on November 14 and Zimbabwe on November 15.
Group A contains Sri Lanka, Ireland, Scotland, Papua New Guinea and the host team, the UAE.
The tournament runs from November 12 to 25 and carries 30 matches. Ten teams take part, five of them full-member nations.
Under the format, the top three sides in each group move into a Super Six stage, where each qualifier plays three matches. The two teams finishing highest in the Super Six standings contest the final on November 25 at the Karwan Sports Club Cricket Ground in Ajman.
All matches will be split between two grounds in Ajman: the Karwan Sports Club Cricket Ground and the Seven Districts Sports Club.
The draw labels Group A's top three as QA1, QA2 and QA3 and Group B's top three as QB1, QB2 and QB3, so Pakistan's opponents beyond the group stage depend on how Group A finishes.
The schedule release fixes Pakistan's group path but leaves their Super Six fixtures open until the first stage is decided. Pakistan are among the five full-member teams in the field, and their group includes Zimbabwe and the Netherlands alongside two Asian sides, Bangladesh and Thailand.
A second report listed alongside the schedule by another outlet, Cricbuzz, was a 1997 page for Pakistan Women's tour of Australia and carried no information about the 2026 tournament.
