South Africa vs Pakistan Women Predictions

South Africa have outplayed the touring Pakistan Women side in four of their five white-ball matches on this tour, although Pakistan have been more competitive than in previous series. The Proteas’ all-round strength in batting and bowling makes them the obvious choice to take the third match to win the ODI series 3-0.

South Africa Women made it five wins from their last five matches when they beat Pakistan by 16 runs in the 2nd ODI of their three-match series.

Tazmin Brits (77 off 62) got the innings off to a flying start, lifting the Proteas to 118/3 in the 19th over, backed by Sune Luus (57 off 67). Luus then added 102 for the 4th wicket with Annerie Dercksen, who scored a whirlwind 90 off just 68 balls.

Chloe Tryon (37 off 23) and Nadine de Klerk (49 off 26) powered the Proteas to a massive score of 361/8 off their 50 overs.

Dercksen followed up her batting exploits by starring with the ball as well when Pakistan batted. She returned figures of 9-0-59-3 (econ 6.55) to walk away with the Player of the Match award, with two catches added in for good measure.

Nonkululeko Mlaba took 2/68 (econ 6.91) to make it seven wickets against Pakistan in her last five matches, while Nadine de Klerk followed up her 2/36 in the 1st ODI by taking 2/66 (econ 7.33) as Pakistan were bowled out for 345 with one ball to spare.

Pakistan Women slipped to their third win in a row in completed ODIs when they lost to the Proteas by 16 runs.

Syeda Aroob Shah (2/49, econ 4.90) was the pick of the Proteas bowlers, but her team-mates mostly took a pounding as the hosts racked up a score of 361/8 off their 50 overs. Fatima Sana (2/72, econ 7.20) and Sadia Iqbal (2/65, econ 6.50) also enjoyed success with the ball.

Pakistan recovered from 24/2 to reach 121 in the 20th over thanks to a 97-run stand for the 3rd wicket between Sadaf Shamas (61 off 62) and Ayesha Zafar (75 off 68). The lower middle-order weighed in with some quick runs thanks to Fatima Sana (52 off 36), Syeda Aroob Shah (40 off 44) and Diana Baig (38* off 25) before they were bowled out for 345 with one ball in hand.
