Laura Wolvaardt captains South Africa, while Fatima Sana leads Pakistan
The South Africa Women’s cricket team are clashing against Pakistan Women's Cricket team in the 1st ODI at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Pakistan enter the series full of confidence after an unbeaten run in the 2025 World Cup Qualifier, where they won all five matches under the leadership of Fatima Sana. The hosts will be eager to carry that momentum forward as they aim to assert dominance in their home conditions.
South Africa, led by Laura Wolvaardt, arrive with mixed form this year, having secured only three wins from seven ODIs. The Proteas will be focused on regaining consistency and building match rhythm ahead of the World Cup. After this series, the teams will head to different destinations for further preparation, with South Africa traveling to India and Pakistan moving on to Colombo, Sri Lanka.
