Women's Emerging Nations Trophy 2026 Super Six Schedule in Pakistan Time and What Pakistan Need
Women's Emerging Nations Trophy 2026 Super Six schedule in PKT: 20, 22 and 23 November, final on 25 November at 10 am. Pakistan's paths and what they need now.
Short answer: The top three teams from each group of the ICC Women's Emerging Nations Trophy 2026 go into a Super Six from 20 to 23 November in Ajman. Each plays the three qualifiers from the other group. The top two reach the final on Wednesday 25 November at 10 am PKT. Pakistan need to beat Zimbabwe on Monday 16 November to be sure of a place.
Pakistan sit second in Group B on 4 points after two wins and a defeat to the Netherlands. Where they finish in the group decides who they meet in the Super Six and at what time. The full timetable below is in Pakistan time.
The Super Six takes the top three from each group
Ten teams play in two groups of five. The top three in each group qualify for the Super Six. There, each team plays the three qualifiers from the other group, so Pakistan would not meet the Netherlands, Bangladesh or Zimbabwe again. The top two after the Super Six play the final.
| Stage | Dates | Teams |
|---|---|---|
| Group stage | 12 to 18 November | 10 teams in two groups of five |
| Super Six | 20, 22 and 23 November | Top three from Group A and Group B |
| Final | 25 November, 10 am PKT | Top two from the Super Six |
Group A has Sri Lanka, Ireland, Scotland, Papua New Guinea and the UAE. Group B has Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, the Netherlands and Zimbabwe. Every game is a 20-over match in Ajman, at either the Karwan Cricket Ground or the Seven Districts Ground. The squads for all ten teams were named before the start.
Super Six matches start at 10 am and 2:15 pm PKT
The Super Six has nine matches over three days. Morning games start at 10 am PKT and afternoon games at 2:15 pm PKT. The ICC lists them by group position, with A1 meaning the Group A winner and B2 the Group B runner-up.
| Date | Time (PKT) | Match | Ground |
|---|---|---|---|
| Friday 20 November | 10:00 am | A2 vs B2 | Karwan Cricket Ground |
| Friday 20 November | 10:00 am | A1 vs B3 | Seven Districts Ground |
| Friday 20 November | 2:15 pm | B1 vs A3 | Karwan Cricket Ground |
| Sunday 22 November | 10:00 am | B2 vs A1 | Karwan Cricket Ground |
| Sunday 22 November | 10:00 am | B1 vs A2 | Seven Districts Ground |
| Sunday 22 November | 2:15 pm | A3 vs B3 | Seven Districts Ground |
| Monday 23 November | 10:00 am | A1 vs B1 | Karwan Cricket Ground |
| Monday 23 November | 2:15 pm | B3 vs A2 | Karwan Cricket Ground |
| Monday 23 November | 2:15 pm | A3 vs B2 | Seven Districts Ground |
| Wednesday 25 November | 10:00 am | Final | Karwan Cricket Ground |
The ICC gives these times in UAE time, which is one hour behind Pakistan. So a 9 am start in Ajman is 10 am in Lahore and Karachi.
Pakistan's Super Six games depend on where they finish
Pakistan's three Super Six opponents and kick-off times change with their group position. As Group B winners they would start on Friday afternoon. As runners-up or third they would start on Friday morning. The final group table settles this after Wednesday 18 November.
| If Pakistan finish | 20 November | 22 November | 23 November |
|---|---|---|---|
| First (B1) | vs A3, 2:15 pm, Karwan | vs A2, 10 am, Seven Districts | vs A1, 10 am, Karwan |
| Second (B2) | vs A2, 10 am, Karwan | vs A1, 10 am, Karwan | vs A3, 2:15 pm, Seven Districts |
| Third (B3) | vs A1, 10 am, Seven Districts | vs A3, 2:15 pm, Seven Districts | vs A2, 2:15 pm, Karwan |
Sri Lanka lead Group A with two wins from two, so on current form Pakistan's group of opponents is likely to include them. Scotland and Ireland have 2 points each, and Group A still has games to play.
Pakistan qualify for certain by beating Zimbabwe
A win over Zimbabwe on Monday 16 November at 10 am PKT takes Pakistan to 6 points. That guarantees a top-three finish in Group B, because only the Netherlands can pass 6 and only Bangladesh can equal it. A defeat would leave Pakistan on 4 points and waiting on Wednesday's games.
| Group B | Played | Won | Lost | Net run rate | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Netherlands | 2 | 2 | 0 | +1.139 | 4 |
| Pakistan | 3 | 2 | 1 | +0.356 | 4 |
| Zimbabwe | 2 | 1 | 1 | +0.318 | 2 |
| Bangladesh | 2 | 1 | 1 | -0.381 | 2 |
| Thailand | 3 | 0 | 3 | -0.943 | 0 |
Here is what is left in Group B, and why each game matters to Pakistan:
- 16 November, 10 am PKT, Zimbabwe vs Pakistan: a Pakistan win seals qualification.
- 16 November, 10 am PKT, Bangladesh vs Netherlands: a Netherlands win keeps Bangladesh on 2 and helps Pakistan if they lose to Zimbabwe.
- 18 November, Netherlands vs Zimbabwe: if Pakistan lose on Monday, they want the Netherlands to win this one.
- 18 November, Bangladesh vs Thailand: if Pakistan lose on Monday, a Thailand upset would help them.
If teams end level on points, net run rate decides the order. Pakistan's dropped from +1.549 to +0.356 after the Netherlands chased 127 in 14.5 overs on Sunday, so a big win over Zimbabwe would also help their seeding.
Pakistan have won two of their three group games
Pakistan opened with an 8-wicket win over Bangladesh and then beat Thailand by 24 runs, before losing to the Netherlands by 8 wickets. Tuba Hassan has 6 wickets in three games. Ayesha Zafar's 59 off 26 balls against Thailand is the team's best score so far.
| Date | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 12 November | Bangladesh | Won by 8 wickets |
| 13 November | Thailand | Won by 24 runs |
| 15 November | Netherlands | Lost by 8 wickets |
| 16 November | Zimbabwe | 10 am PKT, Seven Districts Ground |
The scorecards are in the reports on the win over Bangladesh and the 24-run win over Thailand. The full group-stage timetable is on the Emerging Nations Trophy schedule.
