Pakistan Women lock horns with South Africa Women in the second ODI at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Friday, September 19. The visiting team registered a sensational eight-wicket victory in the first ODI of the three-match series and is currently 0-1 up in the series, with two more games to be played.

South Africa started the ODI leg on a high, clinching the first game in Lahore by eight wickets thanks to a record-breaking partnership. Chasing 256, the visitors were struggling at 43 for 2 after losing Laura Wolvaardt and Sune Luus soon after. Following this, Marizanne Kapp and Tazmin Brits took complete control from there.

The duo stitched together a brilliant unbeaten 216-run stand, the third-highest for South Africa in women’s ODIs, to take their team over the line with 10 balls to spare. Kapp remained unbeaten on 121, her third ODI century, while Brits brought up her fifth ton with 101 not out. Earlier, Pakistan had posted 255 for 4, thanks to Sidra Amin's unbeaten 121 and Muneeba Ali’s 76. Aliya Riaz added a quick 33, but the hosts couldn’t accelerate enough in the final overs.

The pitch at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore is renowned for favouring batters, especially in limited-overs cricket. It offers reliable bounce and pace, enabling batters to play their shots with confidence. Additionally, the quick outfield helps well-timed strokes reach the boundary with ease. Consequently, this venue often produces high-scoring matches.

South Africa's Marizanne Kapp could be the best batter in the second ODI against Pakistan women. The 35-year-old in the first ODI played a match-winning knock of 121 not out, which guided her team to a win. In her 128 deliveries, she smashed the opposition bowlers to all parts of the ground and laced her innings with 13 boundaries and two sixes. In the upcoming game, Kapp will look to play similarly and guide the visitors to yet another win.

South Africa's Ayabonga Khaka could be the best bowler in the next game against the home team, Pakistan. The right-arm pacer in the last game picked two wickets and leaked 36 runs. Laura Wolvaardt will once again trust the pacer to deliver for the team.
