The Proteas did well to restrict Australia to 172/8 in their first match in the World Cup and the Proteas then got off to a good start to reach 48/2, only to collapse to 107 all out to lose by 65 runs.

Ayabonga Khaka (2/33), Nonkululeko Mlaba (2/22) and Nadine de Klerk (2/35) were all on form with the ball and restricted Australia to 62/4, only for their middle-order to rescue their side.

Laura Wolvaardt top-scored again for her side with an innings of 44 off 39 balls and got good support from Nadine de Klerk (25 off 22 balls). Marizanne Kapp’s 12 off six balls had the Proteas well placed at 82/3 in the 12th over before they collapsed, with none of their last six batters reaching double figures.

Pakistan Women Form

Pakistan have been frustrated by two abandoned matches in their last five contests but lost their other three matches, including their opener in the World Cup against India.

Pakistan’s bowlers did well to keep India to 110/4 in the 15th over, with Sadia Iqbal (2/41) and Fatima Sana (2/33) both picking up top order wickets.

Muneeba Ali (41 off 35), Gull Feroza (12 off 9) and Ayesha Zafar (12 off 8) took Pakistan to 75/3 before they lost their last seven wickets for 31 runs to go down by 64 runs.

Team news

Both sides are heavily reliant on their leading batters and will be calling on the rest of their top orders to put good runs on the board in a match both sides want to win to push up towards the semi-final spots in what is a really tough group.

South Africa Women (possible XI): Laura Wolvaardt (c), Sune Luus, Annerie Dercksen, Marizanne Kapp, Nadine de Klerk, Chloe Tryon, Kayla Reyneke, Sinalo Jafta, Shabnim Ismail, Nonkululeko Mlaba, Ayabonga Khaka.

Pakistan Women (possible XI): Muneeba Ali, Gull Feroza, Ayesha Zafar, Aliya Riaz, Natalia Pervaiz, Saira Jabeen, Fatima Sana (c), Rameen Shamim, Nashra Sandhu, Tasmia Rubab, Sadia Iqbal.
