The team finished 6th in the 2017 Women’s Asian Cup but faltered at the 2019 Asian Cup as they finished 8th.
In March 2022, the Pakistan women’s team clean-swept Malaysia in Lahore, thrashing the Malaysian side with emphatic scorelines of 12-0, 18-7, and 16-5.
Earlier the Pakistan Federation of Baseball (PFB) invited the Indian baseball team to play a tri-nation series alongside Malaysia in Lahore.
PFB President Fakhar Ali Shah also confirmed that the event will be held from 15-22 April in which the women’s team will also participate in the tri-nation series against India and Malaysia.
This will be a great initiative and a fantastic exposure for the girls in green and it will be their first outing since their series against Malaysia in 2022.
