South Africa and Pakistan Women are all set to lock horns in a three-match T20I series starting on February 10 at Senwes Park. The series marks Pakistan’s first bilateral tour of South Africa since 2021 and comes at a crucial time for both sides as they begin shaping their squads for the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, scheduled to be held in June in England & Wales.
With the World Cup on the horizon, this series provides a valuable platform for both teams to test combinations and build formidable squads for the World Cup. Pakistan will be led by Fatima Sana, while hosts South Africa, on the other hand, will take the field under the leadership of Laura Wolvaardt.
South Africa have the likes of experienced performers such as Annerie Dercksen, Sune Luus, Dane van Niekerk, Marizanne Kapp and Chloe Tryon, who will aim to capitalise on home advantage. Pakistan, on the other hand, have Muneeba Ali, Ayesha Zafar, Natalia Pervaiz, Aliya Riaz and Nashra Sandhu, who all will be expected to challenge South Africa.
