Asma Shirazi commended the efforts of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for organizing such events to promote women’s cricket in the country. According to her, there is no difference between men and women in this era, and women are now progressing in every field. She stressed the importance of balance, stating that women have to look after their family and profession at the same time, and they perform their responsibilities with more commitment.

Asma Shirazi also showed her support for the Amazon team in the match. The women’s cricket league in Pakistan is gaining momentum, and more and more women are now taking part in this sport, breaking stereotypes and paving the way for gender equality in the country.
