We performed well in some matches. We gave tough competition to Australia and England, but unfortunately we could not progress.
We need to play more and more matches

He comes very close and loses in the World Cup, but still, he has a smile on his face. I am just trying to stay calm. When you are captaining a losing team, you have to have faith in your team. Hopefully we will do well in our upcoming matches.”
Fatima Sana shared a funny moment

If you are a good person then these things help you a lot. In this tournament, Pakistan had to face defeat in 4 out of 7 matches, while 3 matches were canceled due to rain.
What did the Sri Lankan captain say?
Meanwhile, Sri Lankan captain Chamri AtapattuDespite many matches being affected by the weather, decided to move forward with positive thinking. She said, yes, of course, I try to control the things that are within my control. As a team, when we are in the World Cup, the expectations are always high.

We made a lot of mistakes in the field with the bat and as a bowling unit, but we are focusing on what we can do better in the future.
