Pakistan Women's Tour of South Africa announced in February-March 2026

The Pakistan women’s cricket team is all set to tour South Africa in 2026 for a six-match bilateral series featuring three T20 Internationals (T20Is) and three One Day Internationals (ODIs). The action is scheduled to begin on February 10, with all matches set to be played at prime times in the South African summer.

Pakistan and South Africa have met regularly across formats in recent years. In the most recent bilateral ODI series played in Pakistan in September 2025, South Africa Women demonstrated significant strength in the 50-over format. They clinched victories in the first two fixtures, including a thrilling contest where Tazmin Brits scored 171* and Laura Wolvaardt scored a century in a high-scoring thriller before rain intervened.

The third ODI in that 2025 series saw Pakistan bounce back, with Nashra Sandhu leading the bowling attack as Pakistan chased down South Africa’s total with six wickets in hand marking a rare win in the ODI rivalry. At the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, South Africa again showcased their batting firepower against Pakistan in a dominant performance, defeating them by 150 runs in Colombo.

The overall head-to-head record between South Africa Women and Pakistan Women across all formats indicates a clear edge for the Proteas, particularly in ODIs. South Africa have won 24 of the recorded meetings, while Pakistan have managed six victories, with one tie.

For South Africa, batters such as Laura Wolvaardt, Marizanne Kapp, and Tazmin Brits have been central to big totals in ODI cricket, while Pakistan’s lineup will rely on seasoned talents like Sidra Amin and Nashra Sandhu to make their mark in both formats. The bowling departments of both teams will be critical in South African conditions.

As the two sides prepare to lock horns in the coming weeks, expectations are high for a competitive series that will test Pakistan’s adaptability in unfamiliar conditions and allow South Africa to consolidate their standing in women’s international cricket. The 2026 tour not only promises fireworks on the field but also critical learnings for both teams as they build towards further global challenges.
