South Africa Women (SA-W) will lock horns with Pakistan Women (PAK-W) in Match No. 22 of the Women’s World Cup 2025 on Tuesday, October 21, at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

South Africa have already sealed their spot in the semi-finals and currently sit third on the points table with four wins from five matches. With momentum on their side, they will look to climb higher in the standings by securing another victory.

Pakistan, on the other hand, are placed at the bottom of the table with three losses and two no-results from their five outings. Though their chances of progressing to the next round are slim, they will aim to win this game to get back to a positive note.

Batting first has generally proven to be the more rewarding option at the R. Premadasa Stadium. However, with rain in the forecast, teams might look to chase, especially if the DLS method comes into play. If weather interruptions stay away, spinners are expected to play a key role, as the surface tends to offer good grip and turn as the game progresses.

South Africa’s top-order batter, Laura Wolvaardt, could be the key player in this clash. She has scored 180 runs in five matches at an average of 45 and has the ability to dominate from the top of the order, giving her team a strong platform to control the game.

Pakistan captain Fatima Sana could be the key bowler in this clash. She has taken nine wickets in the tournament so far, consistently using her medium-pace to influence the game. Her ability to bowl tight spells makes her a potential match-winner who can steer her team toward victory.
