Women's Emerging Nations Trophy 2026 Schedule in Pakistan Time: Pakistan's Matches in Ajman From 12 November

Pakistan play their first match of the ICC Women's Emerging Nations Trophy 2026 against Bangladesh on Thursday 12 November at 2:15 pm Pakistan time, in Ajman, UAE. Their four group games are on 12, 13, 15 and 16 November. The final is on Wednesday 25 November at 10:00 am PKT.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) published the full fixture list on 29 October 2026. It confirms the tournament is in Ajman, at Karwan Sports Club and Seven Districts Sports Club, and gives every start time in UAE time. We converted all of them to Pakistan time below, because the UAE is one hour behind Pakistan.

Pakistan's four group matches in Pakistan time

Pakistan play Bangladesh and Thailand at 2:15 pm PKT on 12 and 13 November, then the Netherlands and Zimbabwe at 10:00 am PKT on 15 and 16 November. The first two are at Karwan Sports Club, the last two at Seven Districts Sports Club.

The squad of 14, led by Muneeba Ali, is on our page about the Pakistan women's Emerging Nations squad. Thailand, Pakistan's second opponent, are the defending champions. The ICC says they won the first edition at home in 2025.

Ten teams play in two groups of five

Ten teams take part, split into two groups of five. Pakistan are in Group B with Bangladesh, Thailand, the Netherlands and Zimbabwe. Group A has Sri Lanka, Ireland, Scotland, Papua New Guinea and the hosts, the UAE.

• Group A: Sri Lanka, Ireland, Scotland, Papua New Guinea, UAE
• Group B: Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, Netherlands, Zimbabwe

Each team plays the other four in its group once. The top three from each group go to the Super Six. In that round, each team plays the three qualifiers from the other group. The top two after the Super Six play the final.

The ICC article does not say whether group points carry into the Super Six. It also does not state the match format, T20 or 50 overs, and we have not seen the 2026 playing conditions. The spacing of about four hours between morning and afternoon games fits T20 matches, but treat that as our reading, not the ICC's word.

Every group match with Pakistan time

The group stage has 20 matches over five days, 12 to 18 November. Two games run at the same time on most days, one at each ground. Morning games start at 10:00 am PKT and afternoon games at 2:15 pm PKT.

There are no matches on 14 or 17 November. Pakistan finish their group a day early, on 16 November, so they will know their Super Six place only after the last Group B games on 18 November.

Super Six and final dates if Pakistan go through

The Super Six is on 20, 22 and 23 November, and the final on Wednesday 25 November at 10:00 am PKT at Karwan Sports Club. Pakistan's Super Six times depend on where they finish in Group B, so they are not fixed yet.

In this table, A1 means the team that finishes first in Group A, B2 the team second in Group B, and so on. If Pakistan top Group B, their Super Six games are against A3 on 20 November at 2:15 pm, A2 on 22 November at 10:00 am and A1 on 23 November at 10:00 am.

How to work out a start time in Pakistan

The ICC lists every time in UAE time. Pakistan is one hour ahead of the UAE all year, because neither country changes its clocks. So add one hour to any ICC time and you have the time in Pakistan.

1. Find the match on the ICC fixture list for the tournament.
2. Read the start time, which is in UAE time.
3. Add one hour. 9:00 am becomes 10:00 am, and 1:15 pm becomes 2:15 pm.
4. Check the ground: KSC is Karwan Sports Club, SDSC is Seven Districts Sports Club.
5. Check again on match day, as rain or a late change can move a start.

The ICC article does not name a broadcaster or a live stream for this event. If one is confirmed for Pakistan, we will add it here. For Pakistan's other matches this month, see our Pakistan cricket schedule for November 2026.

Earlier reports placed it in Bangkok

Some fixture lists shared online before the ICC published its own placed the 2026 event in Bangkok and gave times in Indian time. The ICC list of 29 October settles it: the venue is Ajman, and the times are UAE times.

So the earlier times are wrong for Pakistan viewers. They gave 12:30 pm and 8:00 am PKT. The correct times are 2:15 pm and 10:00 am PKT. We have corrected our squad page to match.

The senior side's year is on our Pakistan women's cricket calendar. Players who did well in the National Women's T20 are on our most runs and wickets list.
