South Africa and Pakistan will face off in Match 22 of the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup at the R Premadasa Stadium on Tuesday afternoon. The Proteas are second in the standings, while the Women in Green are bottom of the table. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After reaching the semi-final of each of the last two World Cups, South Africa have already booked their place in this year’s knockout round with two games to spare.
The Proteas locked in their spot in the last four with a 10-wicket victory over Sri Lanka on Friday, when Nonkululeko Mlaba (3/30) and Laura Wolvaardt (60* off 47) played starring roles with ball and bat, respectively.
The South Africans are now on a four-match win streak in this competition and have won four of their last five matches against this opponent across all formats.
Meanwhile, Pakistan are still mathematically in with a chance of qualifying for the knockouts, but that seems unlikely, given that their two points to date have come via no results.
Both those points came in their last two games against England and New Zealand. Adding to the narrative that they will struggle to finish in the top four is their net run rate of -1.887, which is the worst in the tournament.
The Women in Green have only won two of their last 10 matches across all competitions.
