A training video involving Pakistan women cricketers has gone viral on social media, with fans mocking the unusual exercises shown in the footage. Four players can be seen performing a series of partner drills while their teammates cheer them on, leading to plenty of reactions online.
The footage is reportedly from the Pakistan Under-19 women’s team rather than the senior side. Notably, the video has surfaced shortly after Pakistan’s senior women secured an Asian Games bronze medal with a 31-run win over Bangladesh in the third-place playoff at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin.

Social media users compared the routine to a similar training video involving former Pakistan captain Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. Their workout had also attracted attention on social media and was later mocked by members of the Indian team.
Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh notably imitated the exercises on the field, adding to the attention surrounding the original video.
Pakistan Women Secure Asian Games Bronze Medal
While the training video attracted plenty of online reactions, the senior side produced a strong result at the Asian Games 2026. They defeated Bangladesh by 31 runs in the third-place playoff at Korogi Sports Park to secure the bronze medal.
Pakistan were restricted to 145/8 in 20 overs after winning the toss and batting first. Fatima Sana led the way with an unbeaten 45 off 30 balls, hitting three fours and three sixes.
Gull Feroza gave Pakistan a quick start with 31 off 23 balls, while Aliya Riaz added 25 off 22 deliveries, including two sixes. Shawaal Zulfiqar also contributed 17 off 27 balls.
Ritu Moni, Shorna Akter and Nahida Akter took two wickets each for Bangladesh, while Sanjida Akter Meghla claimed one wicket. The lower-order contributions helped the team reach 145/8 despite Bangladesh’s efforts to restrict the scoring.
