SA-W vs PAK-W, Women’s World Cup 2025 Match Prediction: Who will win today’s game between South Africa and Pakistan?

Table of Contents
South Africa are set to face Pakistan in the 22nd match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday, October 21.
Laura Wolvaardt will lead her confident side into this clash as they look to extend their winning streak and keep their semifinal hopes strong. The batting unit anchored by Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits has delivered consistent starts while Marizanne Kapp and Chloe Tryon continue to add stability in the middle order. South Africa’s bowling attack led by Ayabonga Khaka and Masabata Klaas has been clinical in exploiting new-ball movement and maintaining pressure through the middle overs. With Sune Luus and Nadine de Klerk offering all-round support the team appears well-balanced and tactically prepared to handle any challenge Pakistan pose.
Pakistan led by Fatima Sana will look to bounce back after an inconsistent run in the tournament. Their top order featuring Sidra Amin and Muneeba Ali has shown glimpses of promise but has lacked sustained partnerships under pressure. The middle order anchored by Aliya Riaz and Natalia Pervaiz must step up to counter South Africa’s fast bowlers and spinners alike. On the bowling front Diana Baig and Nashra Sandhu remain crucial strike options especially in Colombo’s slow conditions. Pakistan’s fielding and death bowling will be key areas of improvement if they aim to challenge South Africa’s dominant line-up. A tactical approach with disciplined line and length could tilt the contest in their favour.

The surface at R Premadasa Stadium traditionally favours batters in the daytime though spinners find grip and turn as the game progresses. A total near 250 is considered competitive given the humid conditions expected in Colombo. Bowlers who hit consistent lengths in the middle overs often extract value from the surface. With possible dew later in the evening chasing might remain the preferred strategy at this venue. Both teams will rely heavily on their spinners while adapting to slower conditions and maintaining tight control over the run flow.
