Pakistan Women vs South Africa Women 2nd T20I match
The second T20I of the Bank Alfalah T20I series between Pakistan Women vs South Africa Women is scheduled for today (September 18, 2024) at the Multan Cricket Stadium at 7:00 PM PKT. Following South Africa’s narrow 10-run victory in the previous match, Pakistan will be eager to make a comeback in today’s game.
Pakistan’s bowlers had done pretty good work in restricting South Africa to 132/4 with Sadia Iqbal doing the damage, taking three for 34 runs. Tazmin Brits, who anchored the innings with an unbeaten 56 off 63 balls, was the top South African scorer. Pakistan’s batswomen, however, did not get off to the best start and crumbled to 21/4. However, an indomitable combination between Aliya Riaz (52) and skipper Fatima Sana (37) brought them close to the target. Pakistan could not cross the target with 122/5 in 20 overs.
Pakistan would look to have a better performance at the top order as they gear up for the match today after losing some crucial batters in the first T20I that got them into problems, and now they would not want a similar mishap. Aliya Riaz and Fatima Sana will again be the big players, hoping to combine and put together a significant partnership like the last game.
South Africa, on the other hand, will look to continue their momentum. Tazmin Brits, who starred with the bat, and Chloe Tryon, with her late cameo, will be important to their plans. The Proteas will also count on their bowlers, who did a good job of applying pressure on Pakistan in the first match.
Yet another day seems to promise a scintillating contest wherein Pakistan Women will try to stay in the series while South Africa will look to seal the series with another victory on the board.
