Who is Pakistani cricketer Fatima Sana Khan, biography, age, height, husband, religion and career stats
Fatima was a No. 5 in most of the matches leading up to the tournament, so it seemed like a tactical error to drop her to No. 7 in the batting order. However, the right-hander more than made up for it with a brisk knock of 30 off 20 balls, which included three fours and a six.
After Fatima’s stroke helped Pakistan reach 116 when batting first, they exploited the circumstances to impede Sri Lanka’s pursuit. She also set the tone with the bowling, taking out Sri Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu (6) in the third over of the chase, which was a crucial wicket.
23-year-old Pakistani cricket player Fatima Sana who is a Muslim by religion was born on November 8, 2001 in Karachi, Sind and has a height of 5 feet 3 inches. Details about Fatimaโs family and education are not known.
Fatima Sana Khan is single and unmarried.
