South Africa Women will aim to continue their dominance over Pakistan Women when they clash in the second ODI game of the three-match series on Wednesday, February 25th. South Africa Women will be eyeing the ODI series victory after sealing the T20I leg, while Pakistan Women will look to bounce back and keep themselves alive.
South African Women will look to seal the ODI series as well after winning the T20I leg. They won the series opener by 22 runs against Pakistan Women. While batting first, the hosts scored 260 for 6 in their 50 overs, thanks to the maiden half-century from Sinalo Jafta and an unbeaten 93-run knock from Sune Luus. In reply, Pakistan Women were bowled out for 233 runs. Tumi Sekhukhune was the pick of the bowlers, taking three wickets to her name.
Meanwhile, Pakistan Women are struggling badly with their form in this 50-over format. They are winless in their last six matches now after suffering a narrow defeat in the series opener against South Africa Women. They came close while chasing a target of 261 runs, but missed out on a deserving victory. Nashra Sandhu was the star performer with the ball, taking two wickets. While Sidra Amin and Ayesha Zafar were the standout performers with the bat, scoring 68 and 81 runs, respectively. They will look to win the second game and keep themselves alive in the series.

SuperSport Park provides extra bounce and carry to fast bowlers and is one of the spiciest pitches in the country. Seamers may trouble batters early, especially under clouds. Once set, batters can score freely, as the ball travels fast at altitude. Spinners get very little help and must rely on control. Overall, it is a pace-friendly pitch early and then converts into a batting-friendly surface.
The weather will be clear and around 19 degrees; it has a humidity of 73% and a possibility of rain at only 5%. There will be light winds blowing, and dew might form later due to the humidity. Overall, it looks good for a full match without weather interruption.
