Women`s cricket has been the hardest hit with the COVID pandemic in 2020 as a lot of teams are yet to return to action in field. Men`s Cricket truly back on field with the bio-bubble and quarantine restrictions or the players. South Africa and Pakistan teams take the field after the ICC T20 tournament in March 2020 for the first time. Both teams have a few changes in their squads and will look to keep up their spirits high in this game. South Africa will look to dominate the Pakistani side in their home yard while the opposition will look to challenge the hosts.
Sune Luus will take over the captaincy duties for South Africa. They have experienced batting unit with the likes of Laura Wolvaart, Lizelle Lee, Mignon Du Preez, and Keeper Trisha Shetty. Chloe Tryon and Dan Van Kriek will be missed in the abtting department owing to their injuries.
Pacers Ayabonga Khaka, Shabman Ismail, Masabata Klaas, and Marizanne Kapp are expected to slot in the playing XI for the first match. All-rounders Sune Luus and Nadine Klerkk will take care of the fifth bowling option with spinner Sune Luus expected to bowl her quota of 10 overs consistently.
Top players to bet on:
Laura Wolvaart – Wolvaart has been one of the most impressive batters in the South African side recently. She has 304 runs at an average of 50+ in the last 7 ODI matches. We expect her to continue her good form in this match.
Marizanne Kapp – Marizane Kapp has been the pace spearhead for the team. She has 11 wickets at an economy rate of 3.85 RPO in the last 7 ODI matches. We expect her to swing the new ball and trouble the opposition batters.

Pakistan team too has a change in personnel with Javeria Khan leading the side in the absence of Bismah Mahroof. Nahida Khan, Omaima Sohail, and Aliya Riaz are expected to do the bulk of run scoring for the team alongside their skipper in this series. Munneba Khan and Ayesha Zafar may play in the playing XI to complete the batting unit.
Diana Baig and Kainat Imitaz are expected to take care of the pace bowling department of the team. Experienced duo of Nida Dar and Nashra Sandhu will slot in the playing XI as the two spinners set to operate in tandem in middle overs.
Top players to bet on:
Nahida Khan – Nahida Khan scored 154 runs at an average of 51 in the recently conclude National tri-series in Pakistan domestic circuit. She will look to replicate her form in the international arena too in this match.
Nashra Sandhu – Sandhu was the highest wicket-taker in the National tri-series and made a sretrun to the national side owing to her brilliant performances. She will look to strangle the option with her spin bowling in middle overs.

Durban is expected to have a dark and cloudy weather on the match day. But, the weather forecasters say just 20-30% chances of rain and we expect it won’t play a big role in the outcome of the match.
Durban is expected to have good playing conditions with early swing on offer for pacers and some turn for spinners later in the day. We expect the scores to be around 200-220 runs in this match.
Both teams will look to chase down the target as they won’t be aware of a good target on this pitch.
Both teams take the field after almost 10 months for the first time in international stages and will need to regroup themselves as a team on the field. South Africa has better winning ratio, home conditions, and strong core of players on their side in this contest. But, Pakistan will take confidence of the fact they have levelled the series here last time. Both teams have a few changes in the playing XI due to missing players and we are all set for a new beginning for these two teams. We expect South Africa to win this match in their home conditions.
South Africa will win the match
