Pakistan will take on South Africa with its place in the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 on the line at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday, October 21.
Fatima Sana’s team will know that anything less than a win spells the end of its chances of moving into the knockout stages of the tournament. It currently sits at the bottom of the points table, with only two points.
South Africa, meanwhile, will be looking to continue its positive form that has seen it confirm a spot in the final four. It currently has eight points, with four wins from five matches.
These two teams competed in an ODI series just before the start of the competition, with the Proteas winning 2-1.
