00:00 Let's talk about the women's team who have made history.
00:04 And where is that?
00:05 In New Zealand.
00:06 And Green Shirts, the first Asian team to beat the Kiwis in the T20 series.
00:12 This achievement was not made by Afghanistan, Sri Lanka or India.
00:18 This achievement was made by Pakistani girls.
00:22 There is no place for happiness.
00:24 The captain of the women's team, Nida Dar, has said that we have to sweep clean.
00:30 In the same way, Bisma says that the dream of winning the series in New Zealand will be a great success for us.
00:38 And winning this match is also a great success.
00:40 What a remarkable performance!
00:43 Amazing performance!
00:45 Think about it.
00:46 No Asian women's side has ever won a T20 match in New Zealand.
00:53 And winning a series here, winning a historic victory, is remarkable.
01:00 You see, Pakistan has won the T20 series.
01:03 And you see, no team has been able to do what the Pakistani girls have done under the leadership of Nida Dar.
01:11 So, we have with us to talk about this memorable victory, the national wicketkeeper, better Sidra Nawaz.
01:18 Sidra, thank you so much for joining us.
01:20 And congratulations to you and your team.
01:23 Pakistan is proud of you.
01:25 Our girls are ahead in the field of sports.
01:28 If we talk about the Kiwis, their cricket team, they are third in the league and Pakistan is eighth.
01:34 What do you think are the factors behind this victory?
01:39 What made you believe in winning?
01:41 And what are your first impressions of this memorable victory?
01:46 Assalam o alikum.
01:47 Walikum Assalam.
01:48 First of all, it is a matter of great pride for our nation that our girls have achieved such a great thing.
01:56 And you see, we are only seeing this as an achievement.
02:01 But the struggle we were going through was very tough for us.
02:05 Because we saw a lot of failure in it.
02:08 We were very critical of us.
02:10 But now, the hard work we did, the way we got paid off, Allah ta'ala bless us.
02:17 This is a big thing and not a small thing.
02:20 And I think the more our team is appreciated, the more work there is.
02:24 Without a doubt, Sidra.
02:26 And that's why we are talking to you.
02:27 Because it is a very happy thing for me that we normally talk about cricket.
02:32 So we are talking to ex-cricketers and talking to them about performances.
02:36 And now we are talking to you and we are feeling proud.
02:39 Okay, let's talk about the performances.
02:42 So one name whose name we heard repeatedly in these matches and commentary was Fatima Sana.
02:50 Because of her performance.
02:52 So tell us more about that.
02:54 See, Fatima Sana is a very good all-rounder.
02:59 Mashallah, she is very young from Pakistan.
03:01 And she is the first Pakistani young who has won an emerging award from the ICB.
03:06 And basically, she has continued this series straight away after an injury.
03:12 And I think the way she came back from her injury was very good.
03:16 I mean, for her, the whole of Pakistan was very good.
03:20 So you said in the beginning that there were a lot of difficulties, a lot of criticism.
03:25 But if we look at this whole year, the team was very busy.
03:28 You guys won from South Africa.
03:30 Then your tour was in Australia.
03:32 You guys were also in action against Asian Games and Bangladesh.
03:36 So this continuous cricket helped you overcome all those weak points?
03:43 See, it is like that.
03:45 And we played continuous cricket.
03:47 And we still say that we need more tournaments.
03:50 But PCB and our madam Tanya helped us a lot.
03:54 They are arranging series for us.
03:56 And now we are very hopeful that we will have a PSL.
04:00 And our cricket will get more explore.
04:03 Today we defeated New Zealand.
04:05 So that in the future, we will have a series from England next year.
04:08 So you have given us the news about the PSL.
04:11 It should be. It should be.
04:12 No, no. We are expecting that we will also have a PSL.
04:15 And we will get more explore.
04:17 So that next year, we will have a series from the World Cup, T20 World Cup, Raisha Cup, England.
04:23 So we are going to beat that.
04:26 Sidra, you have said a very beautiful thing.
04:29 Basically, everything is based on performances.
04:31 I remember when your matches were happening here in Karachi.
04:35 We were so enthusiastic because you were beating them.
04:38 When the team starts to succeed, no one can suppress it.
04:41 If you are performing here, then God willing, there will be more talks on it.
04:44 And all the media is talking about it.
04:47 Which is a great news for you as well.
04:49 Yes, it is like that.
04:51 So now tell me, when you are winning and giving good performances,
04:56 there is an add-on pressure.
04:59 Your expectations increase that you have to do well.
05:02 So what is the plan now at the international level, at the domestic level?
05:06 What are the series that we can see the Pakistani women's cricket team in?
05:11 I think the press test will be done.
05:15 Because it is such a big achievement.
05:17 And after this, I think the girls will have a big opportunity.
05:21 If we beat them, we will continue this streak.
05:24 And obviously, we have a home series with West Indies.
05:28 In Pakistan and we have a tour in England.
05:31 Then after that, we have the World Cup and Asia Cup.
05:34 So we will see that if we beat New Zealand in their condition,
05:39 we will continue this.
05:41 England's condition is similar.
05:43 And West Indies is in our home.
05:45 So we will do this streak.
05:48 And beat them so that we can take women's cricket to the top.
05:51 Okay, this is good.
05:52 It is their last match on 9th.
05:54 So they will clean sweep.
05:55 So the emotions are young.
05:57 And is the weather different there?
05:59 It is going to be a bit windy over there.
06:01 Yes, where they played, it was windy and cold.
06:06 And I think the way they played in the weather,
06:08 they are saluted seriously.
06:11 Because we did not get the same weather here.
06:14 We are not used to such weather.
06:16 We are not used to such conditions.
06:18 The way we adopted their condition in a week and a half.
06:20 I say it was very good for our team.
06:22 Thank you so much Sidra.
06:24 And congratulations to you and to your team once again.
06:27 And wish you best of luck.
