Strikers, 8 wins from 8, meet Stars in the PCB National Women's T20 final on 26 October at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad. See the results and how Stars qualified.
Strikers will play Stars in the final of the PCB National Women's T20 Tournament 2026-27 on 26 October at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said after the league stage ended on Friday 23 October. Strikers, led by Natalia Parvaiz, won all eight league games. Stars, led by Tuba Hassan, took the second spot on net run rate after a last-over chase against Invincibles.
Note the date. The PCB fixture list we read on 20 October showed the final on Sunday 25 October. The board's own report of 23 October now says 26 October, so plan around the newer date until the PCB says otherwise.
Strikers vs Stars is the final on 26 October
The PCB report of 23 October says the final is between Natalia Parvaiz's Strikers and Tuba Hassan's Stars on 26 October at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad. It does not give a start time. Earlier league games were played at two club grounds in Faisalabad.

Stars beat Invincibles by seven wickets to qualify
Stars chased 141 with four balls to spare at Bohranwali Ground. Sadaf Shamas made 59 not out from 52 balls and Iram Javed 47. Their stand of 76 for the third wicket took the game away from Invincibles.
Invincibles had made 140 for 6. Eyman Fatima hit 85 from 63 balls with 12 fours and three sixes, and shared 115 for the third wicket with Syeda Aroob Shah, who made 29. Diana Baig took 2 for 17 and Tuba Hassan 2 for 21.
Stars and Invincibles both finished on eight points. Stars went through on net run rate, the PCB says, and Invincibles dropped to third. Sadaf was player of the match.
Strikers beat Conquerors by 60 runs for eight wins out of eight
Strikers made 123 for 6 at Jawad Club Ground, then bowled Conquerors out for 63 in 14.1 overs. Najiha Alvi carried her bat for 63 not out from 52 balls and was player of the match. Omaima Sohail added 36.
Conquerors' leg-spinner Ghulam Fatima took 4 for 14, the best spell of the day. But only openers Ravail Farhan, 22, and Aliya Riaz, 13, reached double figures. Omaima took 2 for 4, and Neelam Mushtaq, Tania Saeed and Rameen Shamim two wickets each.
Conquerors needed a big win to sneak into the final. They lost by 60 runs instead.
The earlier rounds that week shaped the race too. The PCB home page results show Strikers beat Stars by three wickets and Conquerors beat Challengers by three wickets on 20 October. On 22 October, Stars beat Conquerors by six wickets and Invincibles beat Challengers by seven wickets. That left Stars and Invincibles needing to beat each other on the final day, and Stars did it.
Both finalists have Pakistan players in form
Strikers have the tournament's best record and a deep bowling attack. Rameen Shamim, Neelam Mushtaq and Omaima Sohail have all taken wickets across the event. Omaima, Natalia Parvaiz and Najiha Alvi have made the big scores.
Stars lean on Sadaf Shamas and Iram Javed with the bat, and Tuba Hassan and Diana Baig with the ball. Sadaf and Tuba are both listed in Pakistan's T20I squad for the ACC Women's Asia Cup 2026 on the PCB players page, which is why selectors watch this event. The wider season is in the Pakistan women's cricket calendar for 2026-27.
