South Africa Women look to extend their dominance as they host Pakistan Women in the second ODI at SuperSport Park, Centurion on February 25, 2026. Following a rain-interrupted but convincing victory in the series opener, the Proteas hold a 1-0 lead. A win here would secure the three-match series for the hosts, who have transitioned seamlessly from their T20I success into the longer format.
The first ODI showcased South Africa’s depth, with Suné Luus playing a masterful, unbeaten knock of 93 to rescue the innings after early wobbles. Pakistan, despite a valiant effort from Ayesha Zafar and Sidra Amin, struggled to maintain the required run rate against a disciplined South African pace attack. Captain Fatima Sana will be urging her side to find more consistency in the middle overs to prevent a series loss.
