Batting first, Bangladesh Women were dismissed for 108, setting Pakistan a target of 109. Pakistan reached the total for the loss of two wickets, with Sadaf Shamas top-scoring with 37 and Muneeba Ali contributing 31.

The result gives Pakistan two points in the expanded 10-team tournament, which runs from 12 to 25 November across two venues in Ajman: Karwan Sports Club and Seven Districts Sports Club.

The International Cricket Council announced broadcast arrangements for the second edition of the tournament on Thursday, confirming coverage across multiple territories.

In Pakistan, all matches will be shown live on Myco, Tamasha, PTV and Geo Super. In India, FanCode will carry the action, while Sky Sports will broadcast the final in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.

ICC.tv will stream all matches except the final in the UK, and all matches in Australia, New Zealand, Bangladesh and the rest of the world. Willow TV covers the United States and Canada, and SuperSport serves Sub-Saharan Africa.

The ICC said the expanded competition brings together Bangladesh, Ireland, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Scotland, Sri Lanka, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates and Zimbabwe, providing Associate Member teams valuable high-level experience against Full Members.

Pakistan's next fixture in the group stage will be against one of the other eight participants, with the top teams advancing to the knockout rounds.
