Pakistan women made a triumphant start to the series by humiliating the home side South Africa women in the first ODI by 8 wickets. Now they will be going into the second ODI with their heads up and a lot of confidence by their side.
Pakistan women bowlers racked up the batting line-up of Proteas women for a mere 63 runs. Sana Mir was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4 for 11 from 6 overs. She got good support in the form of Nashra Sandhu and Nida Dar who got 2-wickets each.
Chasing a score of 63 runs was never going to be an uphill task for the Pakistan women and they chased down the target in 14.4 overs with 8 wickets to spare. The hosts now find themselves in a jeopardized situation as one more loss here and Pakistan women will take an unassailable lead in the 3 match series.

Pakistan women:
Javeria Khan and skipper Bismah Maroof are the reliable picks in the batting department along with Nahida Khan. Both Javeria and Bismah remained unbeaten in the last game while chasing 63. Veteran Sana Mir scalped 4 wickets in the last game, whereas Nashra Sandhu and all-rounder Nida Dar are the other reliable bowling picks.
South Africa women:
The Proteas women will heavily depend on the likes of Lizelle Lee, Laura Woolvardt, Chloe Tryon and Mignon du Preez. Their batting line-up summoned to a new low in the last game but these players look likely to keep their place.
On the bowling front, Shabnam Ismail and Marizanne Kapp are the most reliable bets.
