Wahab Riaz faces criticism after Pakistan women lose to India in Asia Cup

Pakistan women's head coach and mentor Wahab Riaz drew public criticism after describing his team as the best side in the Women's Asia Cup following a seven-wicket loss to India. During the match at Dubai International Stadium, Pakistan was bowled out for 55 runs. India reached the target in 11.4 overs with seven wickets remaining. Despite the outcome, Riaz maintained that his players remain the favorites to win the tournament trophy due to the playing conditions. Fatima Sana led the bowling effort for Pakistan, claiming three wickets in the defeat. The result leaves Pakistan's qualification for the tournament semi-finals dependent on the outcome of their final group stage match against Hong Kong.
