The year 2022 has been motivating, zealous, and energetic if we talk about the sports industry. Enthusiasts watched their favourite sportsmen and women participate in some of the biggest events.

From the Olympics to the ICC World Cup, FIFA, and more, our athletes have represented Pakistan with pride and have brought back home lots of medals, honour, and tears!

Today, before the year ends, we would like to pay a little tribute to the women who have gone against the odds, and proved to the world that if she puts her mind to something, she achieves it.

5 Pakistani Female Athletes That Deserved The Spotlight in 2022

Although every one of our female athletes truly deserves to be recognized and celebrated, here are the top 5 female athletes who we really thought stood out from the crowd and deserved the spotlight.

1. Samar Khan

Pakistan’s Samar Khan successfully summited and snowboarded a virgin peak of 5,610 metres. The peak is now named ‘Ghar e Samar’ (غرِثمر) as Samar Khan became the first one to summit & snowboard on it introducing a totally new culture of backcountry snowboarding in the country.

2. Malika-e-Noor

Pakistan women football team when they stepped in for their SAFF Cup match after a gap of 8 years. Pakistan had last played an international game in 2017. Only 7 members of that squad were able to find a place in national team in 2022. Among them, one was Malika-e-Noor the Pakistan national women’s team’s vice-captain and the captain of Pakistan Army’s football team.

3. Bismah Maroof

It was Pakistan’s captain Bismah Maroof unbeaten 60 and Blasters’ captain Fatima Sana two for 28 which led to Blasters five-run win over Dynamites at the LCCA Ground on Monday.

After being put into bat, Blasters scored 136 for seven in 20 overs. Left-handed Bismah top-scored with an unbeaten 48-ball 60, which included eight fours. Opening batter Shawal Zulfiqar scored a 20-ball 21, hitting three fours.

4. Fatimatuz Zehra

Talented Pakistani athlete Fatimatuz Zehra successfully participated in and won the bronze medal at the International Taekwondo Russian Open Championship in Russia.

Fatima won the quarterfinal by beating Honk Kong’s Tung Kwok 9-0, 12-2, but lost in the semifinals of the 53kg category to Russia’s Sokolova Vladislava 2-1, 14-7. In the -63kg contest, Russian Alexandar Grigorey beat Pakistan’s Arbaz Khan 8-7, 10-4, and 18-10 respectively.

5. Ayesha Ayaz

Pakistan’s 11-year-old taekwondo sensation Ayesha Ayaz made this nation proud by winning a gold medal at the Taekwondo International Championship 2022 in Thailand back in August 2022.

The young martial artist secured a gold as well as a silver medal at the championship. Moreover, this young 11-year-old has become the first Pakistani female athlete to win 2 golds and a silver and bronze in international taekwondo championships.

These women are national heroes and deserve to be celebrated.

International Cricket Council announced their nominations for ICC Women’s Player of the Month for May 2022. Out of 3 nominations, 2 of them are from Pakistan’s Women Cricket Team, Bismah Maroof and Tuba Hassan.

The skipper Bismah Maroof has been taking charge of the T20I series against Sri Lanka, as a result, Pakistan has white-washed in all formats. The new mother has also been spotted with her little one in several other matches in which her performance has been commendable.

In all 3 matches against Sri Lanka, she took her team towards victory whenever they faced difficulty. In the first match, Maroof scored 28 off 32 balls, in the second she made 22 runs off 29 balls, and in the last one she scored 15* off 15 during the crucial over and was declared the ‘Play of the Match.’

On the other hand, leg spinner Tuba Hassan won her international match against Sri Lanka and remained the highest wicket-taker. She was awarded the ‘Player of the Series’ for her amazing figures.

She did a phenomenal job in restricting the other team’s runs to maintain immense pressure on them, eventually making them crumble.

Asides from these two amazingly talented Pakistani cricketers, 17-yo all-rounder Trinity Smith has also been announced in the nominations. The young lady made her debut against France followed by Spain and Austria. She scored  59* off 43 balls and picked up 2/18 in four overs with her right-arm medium pace. In the final match of the series, she smashed yet another fifty (56* of 40 balls) and also picked up a wicket.

We commend the girls on their fantastic performance and wish them all the best for their future games. We have seen them give 110% in each series time and time again, and are extremely proud of the dedication to reviving cricket for females across the nation and their global feats.

One of the most recent achievements was winning the first world cup series in 13 years and 18 consecutive losses.

Nida Dar stood out as the star of the show. She successfully secured the title of the Player of the Match and made us proud as a nation.

Following the news, internet users congratulated the women in green for their latest achievement. Pakistan secured their first victory of the 2022 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup by beating the team West Indies by eight wickets in Hamilton, Ontario.

Bismah Maroof Opens Up About the Challenges She Faces As a Cricketer and a Mother

written by Sahrish Shakeel

Bismah Maroof was only 15 when she first joined Pakistan’s Women’s Cricket Team and has since made a name for herself thanks to her impressive list of achievements. As a teenager, her skills helped her team secure a place in 2009’s World Cup, and in 2016 she became Captain of the T20 team.

In April of 2021, Bismah took a break from Cricket while expecting. We’ve all seen her adorable baby girl, who she takes wherever she goes. While it’s all smiling in front of the camera, Bismah opens up about the challenges Motherhood brings – especially with a career as physically demanding as hers.

While being on the field comes naturally to her, thanks to the countless hours of practice she has put in, the waters of Motherhood have been slightly rougher than she had imagined. In a recent post on her Instagram, Bismah opened up about how having a child has changed her life and constantly worried that she is not doing enough for her daughter, even though her child’s well-being is a top priority for her.

Bismah rejoined the team in December 2021, but her heart remained with her daughter. “My daughter is the light of my life,” she says while appreciating how her mother brought her up without ever letting her down.

As a working mother with a full-time career, Bismah has a newfound understanding of the unconditional love that mothers hold, which lead them to make sacrifices for their children without ever complaining. She commends women everywhere who have challenged societal norms and taken up being a mother alongside their lives. She appreciates the narrative that @gluco.moms new DVC brings to the arena, reminding us not to take our mothers for granted and make them feel loved and appreciated every day. #KaisiHoMaa

Pakistani women’s team captain, Bismah Maroof has won the internet by arriving at the stadium with her baby girl in her arms for the women’s cricket world cup 2022.

The Pakistani women’s cricket team had gone to New Zealand to play against India in the CWC 2022. Even though the team lost the match, captain Bismah Maroof’s entry into the stadium won many hearts on the internet.

We don’t see many sportswomen walking in the stadium with their children. Bismah’s photograph will surely go down in history. Her daughter is only a few months old who she gave birth, in August, last year. This was her stadium debut during the CWC 2022.

The Pakistani team chased a target of 245 but fell short and was all out for 137 in 43 overs, losing against India.

A user wrote, “A very powerful picture of how a hand that rocks the cradle can hold a bat at the same time. Thank you for paving the path Bismah Maroof. Keep on shinning..”

 

“What a lovely moment! Cricket has boundaries on the field, but it breaks them all off the field. Sport unites!” wrote Sachin Tendulkar in a tweet

“Women’s cricket is creating such positive images on and off the field – no needless rivalry & posturing like the men’s team just good cricket and inspirational women!” wrote another user

This is truly the most iconic photo of the women’s world cup which came out just around International women’s day 2022.

This is true dedication towards her game, country, and her role as a mother of her daughter

Perfectly balancing national duties along with all family responsibilities!

“Only women have this courage, strength, and mindset. They can make the impossible, possible. More power to the captain”

“Women giving birth should not make you stop but should make you move more”

“Just another working day for a lot of women!”

“Today, Pakistani Superwomen have won off the field. Proud of them!”

Bismah’s photo is the statement for everyone who ever had even an of doubt as if women can conquer profession n family simultaneously
