SA-W vs PAK-W Team Previews

South Africa Women

The last T20I match South African women were scheduled to play was against Ireland Women. This contest was abandoned due to rain interruption. The Proteas women won their two games against the same opposition before that.

The South African top order was in terrific form in their last encounter as they piled on 201 runs for the loss of just five wickets in their twenty overs. Faye Tunnicliffe was the top run-getter for South African women with 51 runs from 42 balls. The Irish women were never in contention for a serious run chase and lost the game in the end by a big margin of 65 runs.

Laura Wolvaardt will lead the South African batting charge in this encounter. She has scored 312 runs from her last nine games with an average of 39 and a strike rate of 139.28. Tazmin Brits has also scored 179 runs with an average of 29.83 and a strike rate of 111.18.

Nonkululeko Mlaba will lead the SA bowling attack. She has recorded nine victims in her last nine games, with a strike rate of 22.66. Nadine de Klerk has also picked up seven wickets from her last ten games with a strike rate of 20.57. These will be the top contributors to SA performance in this encounter.

Pakistan Women

Unlike South African women, Pakistani women are entering this encounter on the back of a win against Ireland Women. However, it was a consolation win, and Ireland Women had already clinched the three-match series. It was a comprehensive victory, though by a margin of eight wickets.

Ireland Women batted first in this contest to raise a score of 155 runs for the loss of four wickets. Pakistan women, Muneeba Ali in particular, made short work of the Irish challenge by hitting a thumping hundred in 68 balls and remained unbeaten.

Muneeba Ali will lead the Pakistani batting challenge in this contest. She has scored 266 runs from his last ten games with an average of 29.56 and a strike rate of 114.65. Fatima Sana has also scored 202 runs in her last nine games with an average of 33.67 and a strike rate of 146.37.

Sadia Iqbal will spearhead the Pakistani bowling challenge with 15 victims from her last ten contests with a strike rate of 15.6. Fatima Sana features in the bowling charts as well, with ten victims from her last eight games, with a strike rate of 15.5. Pakistani management expects these players to perform well here.

Pakistan Women Expected Playing 11

Muneeba Ali (wk), Ayesha Zafar, Natalia Pervaiz, Aliya Riaz, Eyman Fatima, Fatima Sana (c), Rameen Shamim, Tuba Hassan, Nashra Sandhu, Sidra Amin, Sadia Iqbal.

SA-W vs PAK-W Toss Prediction

We have seen ten women's T20I games played at the Senwes Park in Potchefstroom. The teams chasing a target have won eight of these matches. So, the captain winning the coin flip might opt to chase.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at Senwes Park will assist pacers, especially when the ball is new. It offers great settings for competitive games. However, the surface will mellow as the match progresses and become helpful to the batters. There is a high likelihood of showers during this encounter, and the temperature will remain near 19 degrees.

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

Although South African women are entering this encounter on the back of a few defeats against the minnows, Ireland Women, they have a better-balanced side. They are also playing at home and will be better versed with the conditions than the Pakistan Women.

SA women also have a better head-to-head record and have won the last T20I game between these two teams, although it was back in 2024. We reckon South African Women will start as favourites to open their account in this contest.

Bet on South Africa Women to win.
