HEAD TO HEAD

Pakistan and South Africa came face-to-face 21 times in Women’s T20Is with their first meeting dating back to 2010. The Proteas women boast a slender 11-10 lead over the Green Shirts.

Pakistan, however, have a perfect 3-0 record against the Proteas women at home.

Matches 21, South Africa 11, Pakistan 10

FORM GUIDE

Pakistan enter the three-match series with a mixed track record. The Green Shirts’ most recent appearance in the format was when they crashed out of the semi-final of the ACC Women’s Asia Cup by eventual champions Sri Lanka in July.

Pakistan started their Asia Cup campaign with a seven-wicket defeat against arch-rivals India before securing thumping victories over Nepal and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to book their spot in the Final Four.

South Africa, on the other hand, boast a worse record, as they won only one out of their previous five fixtures.

The Proteas lost the three-match series against Sri Lanka 2-1 in March while their away series against India, in July, ended in a 1-1 draw.
