South Africa Women vs Pakistan Women Team Preview & Squads
South Africa Women
Captain Laura Wolvaardt has been a beacon of stability for SA-W, consistently anchoring innings and providing clarity to the batting order. Her leadership ensures the team balances aggression with calculated risk, a factor that could swing the SA-W vs PAK-W prediction in favor of the hosts.
The batting lineup is compact but reliable, led by Wolvaardt at the top and supported by Tazmin Brits and Sune Luus. Players like Chloe Tryon and Dane van Niekerk provide finishing firepower, crucial on a track where boundaries can change momentum quickly.
Bowling strength lies in the seamers and all-rounders. Ayabonga Khaka’s ability to swing the new ball and Marizanne Kapp’s wicket-taking prowess, combined with Nadine de Klerk’s dual role, gives SA-W the flexibility to attack in all phases. The team’s depth ensures they can adapt mid-game, giving them a tactical edge.

Pakistan Women
Fatima Sana’s captaincy focuses on aggressive bowling and backing in-form batters like Aliya Riaz to anchor the innings. While leadership experience is growing, recent losses indicate the team may struggle under pressure.
Batting depends heavily on Aliya Riaz and Muneeba Ali. With others like Humna Bilal and Ayesha Zafar offering support, Pakistan must balance aggression with consistency. Their top order will need quick starts to chase SA-W’s predicted 170+ score.
Bowling features Sadia Iqbal and the captain herself, Fatima Sana, as key all-round contributors. Depth is present, but exploiting seam-friendly early conditions could be challenging. In a tactical battle, SA-W’s batting and versatile bowling are likely to test Pakistan’s discipline.
