PCB National Women's T20 2026-27: Strikers Win Six From Six, Final in Faisalabad on 25 October

Strikers have won all six of their matches in the PCB's National Women's T20 Tournament 2026-27 in Faisalabad, and by our count no other team can now catch them on wins. On Monday 19 October they beat Invincibles by six wickets, while Stars beat Challengers by 69 runs with Ayesha Rehman taking 4 for 8. The final is at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad, on Sunday 25 October.

We read the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) reports for matches 9 to 14 and its fixture list on 20 October 2026. The PCB has not published a points table or a points system for this event. So the standings below are our own count of wins and losses from every result.

Strikers are sure of a top-two finish after six wins

Strikers have six wins from six with two league games left. Invincibles, Conquerors and Stars can each reach five wins at most, and Challengers three. Only the top two reach the final, so Strikers are through on wins whatever happens next.

That is our arithmetic, not a PCB statement. It holds as long as the table is decided by wins first, which is how a points table normally works. Six wins is out of reach for every other team.

Ayesha Rehman took 4 for 8 as Stars beat Challengers

Stars made 139 for six at Jawad Club Cricket Ground on 19 October, with Tuba Hassan 34 not out and Sadaf Shamas 34. Challengers were then bowled out for 70 in 14.3 overs. Fast bowler Ayesha Rehman took 4 for 8 and was player of the match.

Ayesha Zafar made 35 of Challengers' 70. She has been their best batter all week, with 71 against Stars on 16 October and 32 against Strikers on 17 October. One player cannot carry a side for long, and Challengers have lost five of six.

In the second match, at Bohranwali Ground, Invincibles made only 97 for nine. Off-spinner Neelam Mushtaq took 2 for 10, and Rameen Shamim and Fatima Sana took two each. Strikers won in 15.4 overs, with Natalia Parvaiz making 24.

Six matches from 16 to 19 October changed the table

Strikers won three of the six matches played from 16 to 19 October. Invincibles, Challengers and Stars won one each. These results, added to the eight earlier games, give the table above.

1. Match 9, 16 October: Strikers 100 for 5 beat Invincibles 99 for 9 by five wickets. Rameen Shamim took 4 for 12.
2. Match 10, 16 October: Challengers 149 for 5 beat Stars 143 for 6 by six runs. Ayesha Zafar made 71.
3. Match 11, 17 October: Invincibles 115 for 4 beat Conquerors 111 for 8 by six wickets. Anosha Nasir took 4 for 13.
4. Match 12, 17 October: Strikers 106 for 2 beat Challengers 105 for 7 by eight wickets. Natalia Parvaiz made 44 not out.
5. Match 13, 19 October: Stars 139 for 6 beat Challengers 70 by 69 runs. Ayesha Rehman took 4 for 8.
6. Match 14, 19 October: Strikers 98 for 4 beat Invincibles 97 for 9 by six wickets.

The first eight results are in our report on matches 5 to 8 and Momina Riasat's 4 for 1, where Strikers were already the only unbeaten side.

Strikers have won with the ball as much as the bat

Strikers kept Invincibles under 100 twice in four days and Challengers to 105 in between. Rameen Shamim took eight wickets in those three games, by our count from the PCB reports: 4 for 12, 2 for 11 and 2 for 12.

Natalia Parvaiz has finished the chases. She made 20 not out, 44 not out and 24 in the same three games, 88 runs in all while being out only once. Omaima Sohail added 54 and 26 not out. Fatima Sana captains the side and is also among the wickets.

Six league matches remain before the 25 October final

Two matches are on Tuesday 20 October, two on 22 October and two on 23 October. The final is on Sunday 25 October at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad, between the top two teams. The race for second place is between Invincibles, Conquerors and Stars.

Stars v Invincibles on 23 October could decide second place. Challengers can reach three wins at most, so they would need almost every other result to go their way. The squads and the full schedule are in our National Women's T20 2026-27 schedule.
