In a remarkable individual achievement, Azra secured six trophies at the tournament, which include four Player of the Match awards, the coveted MVP award, and a Top 6 Player award. Her stellar performance not only highlighted her skills but also showcased the rising prominence of Pakistani women athletes on the global stage.
