The Kimberley Oval is set for an intriguing encounter on February 19 as South Africa Emerging XI takes on a confident Pakistan Women’s side in a 50-over tour match. This fixture serves as the perfect transition between the recently concluded T20Is and the upcoming ODI series, offering both camps a chance to test their depth.
For the Emerging Proteas, it’s a golden opportunity for players like Faye Tunnicliffe and the disciplined Leah Jones to prove they belong at the highest level by challenging an established international side. Meanwhile, Pakistan arrives with a spring in their step after a crushing 53-run win in the final T20, and they’ll be keen to keep that momentum rolling as they adjust to the longer format and the unique bounce of the Kimberley turf.
