PCB National Women's T20 Final 2026 Result: Strikers Beat Stars by 1 Run and Win the Title Unbeaten

Strikers won the PCB National Women's T20 Tournament 2026-27 on Monday 26 October, beating Stars by one run in the final at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad. They made 115 all out and held Stars to 114 for 8, with Syeda Masooma Zahra defending 11 runs in the last over.

The win completed an unbeaten tournament for Natalia Parvaiz's side: nine matches, nine wins. Below are the final scorecard highlights, the prize money, the individual awards, and the final run and wicket charts. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) site blocked our tools, so the figures are as reported in a published report of the final, which we read on 27 October 2026.

Strikers beat Stars by one run in the final

Strikers chose to bat and were bowled out for 115 in 19 overs. Stars needed 116 and finished on 114 for 8 after their 20 overs, so Strikers won by one run. Off-spinner Rameen Shamim was player of the match for 2 for 9 in four overs.

A one-run margin in a final is about as close as cricket gets. Stars hit a four off the first ball of the last over and still fell short.

Masooma Zahra defended 11 runs in the last over

Stars needed 11 off the final over, bowled by Strikers pacer Syeda Masooma Zahra. Diana Baig hit the first ball for four, but Stars managed only 9 from the over by our count, and lost by one run. Diana finished 16 not out off 17 balls.

Sadaf Shamas kept Stars in the chase with 37 off 38 balls, including three fours and two sixes. But the Strikers spinners strangled the middle overs. Rameen Shamim took 2 for 9 and fellow off-spinner Omaima Sohail took 2 for 11, both in four overs. That is 20 runs from eight overs between them in a final.

Natalia Parvaiz's 30 rescued the Strikers innings

Strikers started quickly through Eman Naseer, who made 20 off 12 balls, with Aqsa Habib at the other end. Then they lost five wickets for 58 runs. Captain Natalia Parvaiz steadied the innings with 30 off 31, the top score of the Strikers innings.

Huraina Sajjad added 16 and Rameen Shamim 15 before Strikers were all out in the 19th over. Leg-spinner Hafsa Khalid took 4 for 29 for Stars, and captain Tuba Hassan, also a leg-spinner, took 2 for 17. Diana Baig took two wickets as well.

On paper 115 looked short. It was enough because Strikers had the best bowling attack in the tournament, and it showed when it mattered.

Strikers won all nine matches and Rs 1.5 million

Strikers finished the tournament with nine wins from nine matches and received Rs 1.5 million in prize money, as reported. Runners-up Stars received Rs 1 million. Strikers had won all eight league games before the final, and the last of those was a 60 run win over Conquerors.

Stars reached the final only on net run rate. They and Invincibles both finished the league on eight points. Our report on the final line-up and the last league games has those results.

One date note. An earlier PCB fixtures page listed the final for 25 October, and our mid-tournament report carried that date at first. The final was played on Monday 26 October, as the board's later report had said.

Sadaf Shamas made the most runs and Rameen Shamim took the most wickets

Sadaf Shamas of Stars finished as the tournament's leading run scorer with 285, and Rameen Shamim of Strikers took the most wickets with 19. Syeda Aroob Shah of Invincibles was player of the tournament for 134 runs and 10 wickets, as reported.

The final changed the batting chart. Before it, Ayesha Zafar of Challengers led with 256, two ahead of Eyman Fatima on 254, and Sadaf had 248. Her 37 in the final took her to 285 by our sum, past both. The pre-final tables are in our most runs and wickets list.

Eyman Fatima still has the only hundred of the tournament, 100 off 49 balls on the opening day. Her innings is covered in our day 1 report.

What comes next for Pakistan's women cricketers

The National Women's T20 is the main domestic T20 event of the season, so these numbers feed into national selection. Several of the leading players, including Tuba Hassan, Sadaf Shamas and Eyman Fatima, are already in Pakistan squads, according to the PCB players list our desk read on 24 October.

How we verified this

What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.

We read a published report of the final on 27 October 2026 for the scores, the last over, the prize money and the awards, and a report of the last league games for the run-up. The PCB site (pcb.com.pk) and its match centre did not open for our tools on 27 October, so we could not read the official scorecard, and every figure here is reported. The pre-final charts come from the PCB tables our desk read on 24 October. The runs in the last over, Sadaf's 285 and Rameen's 19 match the report and our own sums. We could not confirm Aqsa Habib's score or the full bowling card.
