South Africa clinched four wins out of five games and secured a spot in the semi-finals. Despite suffering a 10-wicket defeat against England, they went on to secure back-to-back victory in four consecutive games.
On the other hand Pakistan suffered defeats in the games against Bangladesh, India and Australia, while their games against England and New Zealand abandoned due to game.
With South Africa securing 3rd spot, Pakistan is reeling down at the bottom of the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 points table.
Speaking on the toss, Fatima Sana said, “We’re going to bowl first. Looks like a good pitch for the bowlers. We have four spinners. Everything depends on being calm. Same team.”
Meanwhile, Laura Wolvaardt said, “Not the worst thing (batting first). Throughout the competition we’ve done well chasing. The one time we batted first it didn’t go well. With the semifinals looming, good to bat first. Just the one change – Ayabonga is in for Klaas.”
