Team Form & Key Players: SA-W vs PAK-W
South Africa Women
The Proteas Women are yet another team that has been in ominous form, under captain Laura Wolvaardt, who has been performing well in all games with the bat. The bowling unit of Shabnim Ismail and Marizanne Kapp has recently been putting in consistent displays, and the depth in batting and fielding makes them one of the strongest teams in the tournament.
Pakistan Women
Pakistan Women have had some moments of brilliance, but not enough consistency. The core strengths of this team are the leadership of Bismah Maroof and the all-around capabilities of Nida Dar. Emerging young star Muneeba Ali showed promise at the top of the order in recent matches, and Fatima Sana is expected to have great limited-overs pace on Colombo’s slightly seaming conditions.
