At the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, the friendship between Pakistan captain Fatima Sana and Bangladesh skipper Nigar Sultana has become a major talking point. Their bond began at the 2023 FairBreak Invitational and has only grown stronger since.
Nigar Sultana revealed that the two share fun conversations off the field but remain fully competitive on it. Fatima also acknowledged Nigar as not only a close friend but also someone who often gives her valuable batting tips, helping her grow as a promising all-rounder.
This friendship made headlines during the World Cup qualifiers when Bangladesh’s hopes seemed over after a loss to Pakistan. Nigar was heartbroken, but later, when Bangladesh secured qualification by beating West Indies, it was Fatima who first called to share the good news.
Despite fierce competition on the pitch, the two captains maintain a strong bond off it, symbolizing true sportsmanship.
