Australia's Acting High Commissioner Brek Batley highlighted "the tournament and coaching clinic provide a platform through which we can empower young people, especially girls by building their self-confidence and encouraging them to push boundaries''.
"Cricket in Pakistan and Australia is a shared passion for boys and girls, men and women, and provides a wonderful vehicle for promoting and highlighting the importance of gender equality in sport and beyond," Mr Batley said, adding they were delighted to see such a positive response and looked forward to the final tournament on Saturday.
