South Africa Women will look to extend their winning streak against Pakistan Women when they meet in the first ODI of a three-match series on Sunday, February 22nd. After winning the T20I series, South Africa aims for another series victory, while Pakistan seeks to improve their performance.
South Africa Women
Under captain Laura Wolvaardt, South Africa Women won the T20I series 2-1 against Pakistan. They are hopeful about continuing this success in the ODI format as well. Their last ODI series saw them sweeping Ireland Women 3-0, with Laura Wolvaardt being the top run-scorer.
Pakistan Women
Pakistan Women are facing challenges in this format and have not won any of their last five matches. Their performance in the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 was disappointing, finishing last without a win. However, led by Fatima Sana, they aim to turn things around and seek a victory after losing the T20I series.
