Sadia Bibi has pitched for the Pakistani women's national team.

In the 2016 Women's Baseball World Cup, she debuted as a reliever for Mariam Shafiq, down 5-0 after 3 to South Korea. She began by allowing a double to Kyeong-eun Lim and a RBI single to Ye-ji Lee before retiring Yoon-young Jeong. Her first strikeout was Bo-hyeon Lee. She started and lost to Cuba's Yadira Boffill then made two relief appearances before starting and losing to Thari Diefenbach and the Netherlands. For the tournament, she had a 9.60 ERA with 37 hits, 6 walks and 42 runs (16 earned) in 11 2/3 IP while striking out five. She tied for 4th in the Cup in losses, was third in hits allowed (one behind Mayumis Solano and Chittari Chandu Priya), yielded the most runs (5 ahead of Priya) and tied Solano for 4th in earned runs. Her ERA was better than the team mark of 14.94.

She was one appearance behind leader Shweta Das, tied for 3rd in IP (9, behind Yik-Shan Hung and Yu-Ying Hsieh), second in hits allowed (24, one shy of Rupashi Lenka), tied Masooma Basharat for 4th in runs allowed (19) and allowed the most earned runs (17, one ahead of Azra Farooq) but had the best ERA on the Pakistani staff; Ayesha Ejaz was second at 14.00 but Basharat was third at 22.62 and the other two were higher.

Due to delays from COVID-19, the next Women's Baseball Asian Cup wasn't until 2023. Bibi held Hong Kong to one run in four innings in the opening mercy rule rout over Debby Su-Yee Mak, throwing 52 pitches in the shortened game. She not only got the start the next day but again went the distance - it was again a mercy rule rout so she had 5 innings (72 pitches) this time, giving up 3 runs (2 earned) to beat Dilmi Aloka Dissanayake Manana Devage and Sri Lanka. With a match against India determining who would go to the next round, Pakistan again turned to Bibi on the tourney's third day. She went the distance (7 innings), hurling 140 pitches for a total of 264 pitches and 16 innings in 3 days, with no other Pakistani hurler appearing in the tournament. This time, she allowed 8 runs (3 earned) in a loss to Ni Putu Radha Putri. She made the opening round leaders in ERA (2.63, 2nd, .63 behind Putri), opponent average (.215, 2nd, .043 behind Sirapat Kasornsuwan), innings (1st, 5 1/3 ahead of Reshma Shivaji Punekar), whiffs (12, 2nd, 6 behind Punekar), wins (1st), games pitched (tied for first), starts (1st; Punekar was the only hurler with 2), complete games (1st; the other six teams combined for 4), hits allowed (14, 2nd, 11 behind Harshika Priyadarshani Kahennalage), runs allowed (12, 6th) and earned runs (6, 4th) for her workhorse performance.
