Eyman Fatima

Eyman Fatima is one of Pakistan cricket's brightest young batting prospects, recognised for her aggressive stroke-play and ability to anchor an innings under pressure. She first burst onto the international scene during the inaugural 2023 ICC Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup. She finished the tournament as Pakistan’s leading run-scorer and the fourth-highest overall, amassing 157 runs, which included a standout match-winning knock of 65 against Rwanda.

Fatima’s prolific performance at the youth level quickly fast-tracked her into the senior national setup. Fatima earned her maiden international call-up in July 2025 for Pakistan's tour of Ireland, making her T20I debut shortly after in August, followed by her ODI debut against South Africa a month later. Recognised as a core piece of Pakistan's future, the Pakistan Cricket Board awarded her a domestic central contract and placed her in the emerging category for the national contracts, signalling high expectations for her transition to senior international cricket.

The young batter's true breakthrough at the senior international level came spectacularly in May 2026 during Zimbabwe’s tour of Pakistan. Walking into the crease with her side in trouble at 46 for 3, Fatima played a blistering, career-defining innings, smashing her maiden international half-century. She finished with an unbeaten 79 off just 43 deliveries, earning her the Player of the Match award and sealing an unassailable T20I series lead for Pakistan. Her explosive form and ability to shift match momentum make her a vital asset for the national side, and those performances earned her a place in Pakistan's squad for the 2026 ICC Women's T20 World Cup.
