PAK-W vs SA-W Team Previews

Pakistan Women

Pakistan Women face an uphill battle against a resurgent South Africa Women. Shawaal Zulfiqar and Muneeba Ali have struggled to provide consistent starts at the top. Zulfiqar fell for a cheap two runs in her last innings. The lack of consistency up top puts added pressure on Sidra Amin and the middle order. Amin is no master blaster either, with a career strike rate of only just over 60.

Aliya Riaz and Natalia Pervaiz have both struggled to settle into a rhythm recently. With Sidra Nawaz only scoring 54 runs in four matches of the Women’s World Cup Qualifier, the batting lineup has yet to find a reliable anchor who can also keep wicket.

The team was bowled out for 165 and 168 in the first and second Women’s ODIs, respectively, of the previous series against South Africa Women.

Captain Fatima Sana leads an inexperienced bowling attack. Diana Baig and Rameen Shamim are still searching for their breakthrough moments. Even against some weaker teams, Baig has only taken three wickets in her past four matches, including two wicketless games.

Shamim has played less than ten Women’s ODIs, meaning she could be an easy target for opposition batters. Sadia Iqbal and Nashra Sandhu round out a spin unit that has rarely troubled strong opposition. Iqbal only has five wickets in four matches against South Africa Women.

South Africa Women

With Laura Wolvaardt leading the side as captain, South Africa Women look poised for a strong showing. Openers Tazmin Brits and Wolvaardt promise stability at the top as one of the deadliest opening combos in world cricket. They put on a magnificent 184-run opening partnership in their last outing together.

The versatile experience of Sune Luus and the powerful Marizanne Kapp in the middle order supports them. Kapp’s 34 not out was played at the perfect tempo to see her side home in the last game. Nondumiso Shangase enhances the squad with her versatile all-round skills.

Wicketkeeper Sinalo Jafta adds reliability behind the stumps. Her last two Women’s ODIs included six catches with the gloves. Annerie Dercksen and Chloe Tryon bring flexibility and aggression to the batting lineup. Dercksen’s batting strike rate of 99.50 is one of the best features of her batting.

The bowling lineup benefits from the diversity of Tumi Sekhukhune and Nonkululeko Mlaba. Mlaba took seven wickets in three matches of the previous Women’s ODI series. Masabata Klaas contributes her wealth of pace experience.

She ripped through the West Indian Women with four wickets in the third Women’s ODI.

PAK-W vs SA-W Toss Prediction

Batting first has been the way to go for the tourists, with the team’s three previous Women’s ODI wins being from batting first. The Pakistanis have almost followed suit, with three of their past five wins being from batting first.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

Lahore’s pitch is usually true and batting-friendly. Batters should be rewarded for their shots by a smooth, quick outfield and moderate boundaries, making this a great venue for scoring runs. Typically, batters thrive after getting through the first few overs. The spinners should find some purchase in the middle. Pakistan Women scored 205 for six in 50 overs the last time they batted at this venue.

Matchday in Lahore is expected to be a sweltering day with some excessive heat and no rain expected. The humidity will add to the heat.

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

The Proteas Women could send a strong signal about why they should be one of the favourites at this year’s Women’s ODI World Cup. With some impressive Women’s ODI results behind them this year, the visitors should be favoured to start strong with a win in the opening Women’s ODI of the series against Pakistan Women.

Bet on South Africa Women to win.

PAK-W vs SA-W win percentage stands at 62% in favor of SA-W.
