The Omar Associates women's cricket team is a Pakistani women's cricket team, sponsored by Omar Associates. They competed in the National Women's Cricket Championship and the Women's Cricket Challenge Trophy from 2014 to 2016. They won the 2014 Women's Cricket Challenge Trophy, shared with Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited.
History Omar Associates first competed in the 2014 Women's Cricket Challenge Trophy, in which they qualified for the final on Net Run Rate after winning one of their three group stage matches. The final against Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited was curtailed due to rain, so the title was shared between the two teams. The next season of the Challenge Trophy, 2015–16, Omar Associates finished third in their group, with two wins from four matches.
Omar Associates also competed in the National Women's Cricket Championship in 2015 and 2016. In 2015, they reached the Super League stage of the competition, and eventually finished third overall. In 2016, all three of their matches were cancelled via walk-over.
