SA-W vs PAK-W Team Previews

South Africa Women

The South Africa Women’s team enters this match riding high after a spectacular, series-clinching victory in the second ODI. Since their historic run at the World Cup, the team looks to be constantly improving.

Their batting lineup has evolved into a formidable, ruthless force. In the previous game, they posted a mammoth 361/8. The runs flowed freely, with Tazmin Brits, Sune Luus, and Annerie Dercksen all smashing half-centuries. All-rounder Nadine de Klerk provided the finishing fireworks, blasting 49 runs at a ferocious strike rate.

Defending a massive total on a flat Centurion deck is never easy, but the Proteas bowling unit rose to the challenge with a disciplined effort. Star of the match Annerie Dercksen complemented her batting heroics by claiming three crucial wickets. She was brilliantly supported by Nadine de Klerk, Nonkululeko Mlaba, and Nondumiso Shangase, who all chipped in with two wickets apiece to dismantle the chase. Having already secured the series, the hosts will be ruthlessly hunting for a 3-0 whitewash.

Pakistan Women

The struggle continues for Pakistan Women. Even when their batters find a rhythm, their bowlers let them down, meaning they are constantly playing catch-up.

Chasing 350+ is an incredibly tough ask for any side, but the damage was done in the first innings. Three Pakistani bowlers leaked over 70 runs in their respective spells, including strike bowler Diana Baig, who finished with dismal figures of 1/82 in her ten overs. If their attack lacks penetration once again, the visitors will be staring down the barrel of another massive South African total.

During the chase, Pakistan was immediately rocked, collapsing to 24/2. While three batters managed to grind out half-centuries to restore some pride, they failed to build the sustained, massive partnerships required to threaten the target. The failure of key top-order batters was glaring; Muneeba Ali, Sidra Amin, and Aliya Riaz managed a combined total of just 14 runs. Until their senior players step up, Pakistan will continue hitting a brick wall against the World Cup runners-up.

Pakistan Women Expected Playing 11

Muneeba Ali (wk), Sadaf Shamas, Sidra Amin, Ayesha Zafar, Natalia Pervaiz, Aliya Riaz, Fatima Sana (c), Syeda Aroob Shah, Diana Baig, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal.

SA-W vs PAK-W Toss Prediction

Given the humid, coastal conditions typical of Durban, both captains will be eager to exploit the early swing available with the new ball. Therefore, the captain winning the toss will almost certainly opt to bowl first and look for early breakthroughs.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The opening overs at Kingsmead will provide the fast bowlers with a golden opportunity to extract swing and seam movement off the deck. With damp conditions expected early on, batting during the first innings could prove incredibly difficult.

However, as the pitch dries out heading into the evening and night under the lights, the surface should flatten out, making batting significantly easier during the second innings. Bettors should note that in the previous Women’s ODI at this venue, the home side was skittled out for just 135 runs, highlighting the early tricky conditions.

The weather will be typically hot and humid for Durban. Crucially, there is a 40% chance of rain, meaning weather interruptions and DLS calculations are a distinct possibility.

SA-W vs PAK-W : Who Will Win?

The home team is brimming with confidence, having routinely dismantled their Pakistani opposition in both home and away conditions recently. South Africa's prolonged dominance over the visitors shows absolutely no signs of slowing down, especially in familiar home territory where they understand the conditions perfectly.

Backing the Proteas to complete the sweep is the safest play on the board.

Bet on South Africa Women to win.
