Pakistan's cricket greats Zaheer Abbas and Mudassar Nazar, alongside World Cup-winning coach Dav Whatmore, headlined a landmark conclave in the UAE to celebrate the Women's World T20 Cup starting Thursday.

The event, held Sunday, marked the 100th episode of 'Cricket Predicta,' Asia's foremost cricket talk show. It featured a distinguished panel of experts from six nations, among them former UAE cricketer Shahzad Altaf, Zimbabwe women's cricketer Tasmin Granger, and ex-UAE women's team captain Charvi Bhatt. Esteemed journalists Ayaz Memon, Gautam Bhattacharya, and Majid Bhatti also graced the occasion.

Zaheer Abbas expressed concerns over Pakistan cricket's current state and its impact on the global cricket economy. He stated, "If Pakistan performs well in ICC tournaments, the financial health of cricket globally will benefit." Abbas also paid tribute to his late friend, Indian spin legend Bishan Singh Bedi, and humorously remarked on a fan's query about the cricketing fortunes of Kanpur's son-in-laws.

The conclave featured discussions on the evolution of cricket, the future of cricket journalism, and the rich history of women's cricket. Dav Whatmore praised 'Cricket Predicta' for combining game data with insightful context, enhancing fan engagement across Asia. Founder Sunil Yash Kalra, also a seasoned CEO of telecasted leagues, highlighted the show's unique approach to making complex cricket issues understandable and its expansion plans toward the Middle East and Africa.
