In 2020, Pai played for Lightning in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. She appeared in 4 matches, scoring 23 runs.[12] She played seven matches for the side in 2021 across the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and the Charlotte Edwards Cup, with a top score of 24 in a T20 against South East Stars.[13][14][15]

In 2022, Pai was named in North West Thunder's squad for their pre-season tour of Dubai.[16] She went on to appear nine times for North West Thunder in the 2022 season, across the Charlotte Edwards Cup and the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, with a top score of 41* against Northern Diamonds.[17][18][19] She was again in North West Thunder's squad for the 2023 season, but did not play a match.[20][21][22]
