Top 3: South Africa Women Players to Watch Out Against Pakistan Women in the 2nd ODI

As South Africa, led by skipper Laura Wolvaardt, eyes a series-clinching win in the 2nd ODI against Pakistan at SuperSport Park, Centurion, on Wednesday, February 25, 2026 (4:30 PM IST), all eyes will be on three Proteas powerhouses: Wolvaardt, Nadine de Klerk, and Sune Luus.

Fresh off a commanding 37-run victory in the rain-shortened 1st ODI on February 22, where SA posted 260/6 in 41 overs before bundling Pakistan out, with 13 balls to spare. This experienced trio has lit up the white-ball series and could dominate again in this white-ball series (February 10 to March 1) following SA’s 2-1 T20I triumph.

Laura Wolvaardt

South Africa’s captain, Laura Wolvaardt, laid a solid foundation in the 1st ODI, opening with a patient 43 off 50 balls alongside Tazmin Brits. Her knock featured 5 boundaries, stabilising the innings amid a delayed start that reduced the game to 41 overs per side. Wolvaardt’s composure under pressure exemplified her leadership, steering SA to a competitive total. Expect her to build even bigger on this familiar Centurion deck, where her experience could blunt Pakistan’s bowling attack early.

Nadine de Klerk

All-rounder Nadine de Klerk may have managed just 1 off 3 balls with the bat, but her bowling stole the show in the 1st ODI. Returning match figures of 6-0-36-2, she dismissed Pakistan’s opener and wicketkeeper Muneeba Ali (2 off 10) and danger-woman Ayesha Zafar (81 off 94). De Klerk’s swing and accuracy turned the game, proving her value in crunch moments. With Pakistan desperate for a win to keep the series alive, her spell could yet again prove to be decisive.

Sune Luus

At 30, veteran Sune Luus delivered a blockbuster all-round masterclass in the 1st ODI. Batting at No. 4, she smashed an unbeaten 93 off 76 balls, including 8 boundaries and a six, to propel South Africa to 260/6. Switching to bowling a handy quota of spin bowling, she claimed 6-0-31-2, removing Sidra Amin (68 off 69) and Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana (5 off 9). Luus’s explosive versatility was the match-winner, blending flair and control. She’ll be key if conditions offer assistance to spin again at Centurion.

These three could propel South Africa to ODI series glory at the SuperSport Park in Centurion on February 25.
