South Africa Women are coming into this series off the back of a 2-0 series victory over Ireland. They have named a strong squad for the series as they look to mount a challenge for the T20 World Cup 2026 after losing in the final in 2024.
Laura Wolvaardt leads the team as captain and is one of the world’s best openers. In 85 T20Is she has scored over 2,200 runs at an average of 36.5, with a highest score of 115*. She most recently played in the Women's Premier League (WPL) in India, in which she scored 317 runs in 10 matches.
Tazmin Brits will bat alongside her, who in herself is a great batter, having scored 1719 runs in 68 T20Is. These two can lay the foundation at the top.
The Proteas have a very solid middle order that features the young Annerie Dercksen and experienced all-rounders like Sune Luus, Marizanne Kapp, and Chloe Tryon. Dercksen is still quite young in her career, while the likes of Sune Luus and Kapp bring a wealth of experience.
Luus has played 131 T20Is in which she has scored 1526 runs and taken 57 wickets. Marizanne Kapp is the complete package with nearly 100 wickets and 1,600+ runs in T20Is. She is deadly with the new ball and finishes innings well.
Chloe Tryon adds power-hitting and left-arm spin, while Nadine de Klerk is another reliable all-rounder with 51 wickets and useful batting.
They have a great bowling attack featuring the likes of Nonkululeko Mlaba and pace bowlers like Masabata Klaas and Ayabonga Khaka. Mlaba is in good form, recently grabbing 13 wickets in the ODI World Cup, while the pace duo of Klaas and Khaka have taken 100 wickets combined.

Pakistan Women delivered a dull performance in the T20 World Cup in 2024, getting knocked out in the group stage itself. Since then, they have played only one T20I series, and they lost that vs Ireland Women.
Pakistan have opted for a squad mix of experience and youth for this series, led by the 24-year-old captain Fatima Sana. She is a brilliant all-rounder who has scored 417 runs and taken 41 wickets in 49 T20I matches.
The top order features the likes of Gull Feroza and Muneeba Ali. Muneeba was the best batter for Pakistan in the T20I series vs Ireland, as she scored 132 runs in 3 matches at a strike rate of 136.08.
The middle-order features players like Ayesha Zafar, Natalia Pervaiz, and Eyman Fatima. Natalia played fairly well in the T20I series vs Ireland, as she scored 69 runs at a strike rate of 153.33. She likes to play attacking cricket but is also very good at anchoring the inning. Zafar adds middle-order depth while Eyman is still young in her career.
The bowling is a great blend of pace and spin, led by captain Fatima Sana. The medium pacer was the best bowler in the series vs Ireland Women, taking 6 wickets in 3 matches. Tasmia Rubab, Aliya Riaz and Sidra Amin are other medium-pace bowling options.
Meanwhile, the spin bowling options include the likes of Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal and Tuba Hassan. The spin trio have done very well. Sandhu is the most experienced of them with 66 wickets in 69 matches, while Iqbal has taken 62 wickets in 50 matches. Tuba is the youngest, with 24 wickets in 37 T20Is for the 25-year-old.

The weather forecast in Potchefstroom looks dull on Tuesday. Clouds are expected to cover the sun in the morning, and there is a 30-40% chance of rain in the afternoon, which could cause some interruption in the game. The temperature will hover around 31-23°C with winds blowing towards the Northeast at 18 kmph.
The ground has hosted several high-scoring domestic T20 games recently. Pace bowlers have taken approximately 75% of wickets in the last 10 T20 matches at the venue, but the surface generally offers good carry and true bounce early on. The average 1st innings score in recent T20Is here hovers around 120–140.
The team bowling first has the advantage at the Sedgars Park in Potchefstroom. In the previous 10 Women's T20Is at the venue, the chasing team has won 8 times with the potential of dew in the evening.
South Africa Women are clear favourites to win this match. They have had a great last 24 months, reaching the finals of the Women's T20 and 50-Overs World Cups. The side boasts of players like Wolvaardt, Sune Luus, and Marizanne Kapp. Meanwhile, Pakistan had a dismal T20 World Cup 2024 campaign and since then has played only 1 series after that, which they also lost. So back South Africa Women to win this match.
