South Africa will face Pakistan in the 22nd match of the ongoing ICC Women’s World Cup 2025. The match will be held on Tuesday (21 October) at R.K. Colombo, Colombo. Will be held at Premadasa Stadium.
South Africa are on a four-match winning streak and will be keen to extend this streak. They have already secured their place in the semi-finals and will be eager to keep the winning streak in their favor.
In their last game, South Africa faced Sri Lanka in Colombo and won the match by 10 wickets. Due to rain, the match was reduced to 20 overs per team and South Africa completely defeated Sri Lanka.
Batting first, Sri Lanka could only score 105/7 in the allotted 20 overs and only one batsman managed to score more than 20 runs. South Africa were given a revised target of 121 runs and achieved the target in 15 overs without losing any wicket, thanks to half-centuries from Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Britts.

On the other hand, Pakistan are currently at the bottom of the points table and are almost out of the tournament.
They will be desperate to win the upcoming matches to remain in the World Cup. Just before the World Cup, Pakistan had won the ODI series against South Africa at home and this will give it confidence.
