Pakistan Women’s National Cricket Team Vs South Africa Women’s National Cricket Team Stats

The rivalry between Pakistan Women and South Africa Women has developed across One Day Internationals and T20 Internationals, producing competitive series, individual milestones, and several high-scoring matches. South Africa have held the overall advantage, particularly in ODI cricket, while Pakistan have remained competitive in T20Is. The teams have also exchanged important victories in recent bilateral series, including Pakistan’s wins during the 2025 and 2026 seasons.

Through June 2026, the teams had played 35 women’s ODIs and 28 women’s T20Is. South Africa won 26 ODIs and 16 T20Is, while Pakistan recorded seven ODI victories and 12 T20I wins. One ODI was tied and another ended without a result. These figures show South Africa’s stronger overall record, alongside a closer contest in the shortest format.

Head-to-Head Stats

The overall record covers 63 completed or recorded international encounters across ODI and T20I cricket. South Africa have won 42 matches, while Pakistan have won 19. The remaining two ODI results consist of one tie and one no-result.

The tie and no-result are shared outcomes, not separate wins for either team.

South Africa’s lead is most pronounced in ODI cricket. They have won more than three times as many ODIs as Pakistan in the recorded head-to-head series. T20Is have been more evenly balanced, with Pakistan winning 12 of the 28 matches.

The difference between formats is important when assessing the rivalry. South Africa’s consistency over 50 overs has helped them build a substantial overall lead, while Pakistan’s T20I record shows that they have regularly been able to challenge the South African side.

ODI Statistics

Women’s ODI cricket has been the format in which South Africa have enjoyed their clearest historical advantage.

The teams’ first recorded ODI meeting took place on December 16, 1997. By March 1, 2026, they had played 35 ODIs. South Africa had won 26, Pakistan had won seven, one match had been tied, and one had ended without a result.

South Africa’s ODI advantage has been built over several generations of players. Their batting lineups have regularly produced substantial totals, while their bowling attacks have often been able to defend those scores.

Pakistan have nevertheless recorded notable wins, including a six-wicket victory in the third ODI of their September 2025 home series. They also produced a major response in the third ODI of the 2026 tour of South Africa, winning by 119 runs.

T20I Statistics

The T20I record is closer than the ODI record. South Africa have won 16 of the 28 matches, while Pakistan have won 12. Neither team has recorded a tie or no-result in the head-to-head T20I record through June 2026.

The teams’ T20I meetings have included both close finishes and convincing victories. Pakistan’s 181/4 in Multan on September 18, 2024 is their highest listed T20I total against South Africa.

The 2026 meetings also showed how quickly momentum can shift. South Africa won the first two T20Is of the February series, but Pakistan won the third by 53 runs. Later, South Africa edged Pakistan by two wickets in their Women’s T20 World Cup match on June 17, 2026.

Batting Statistics

Batting has played a major role in the rivalry, particularly in recent ODI encounters. Both sides have produced totals above 250, and the 2026 ODI series included two matches in which the combined scores exceeded 600 runs.

Pakistan’s highest listed ODI total against South Africa is 345, scored at SuperSport Park in Centurion on February 25, 2026. South Africa made 361/8 in reply and won by 16 runs. The match was a high-scoring contest in which Pakistan’s total was substantial but not enough to secure victory.

South Africa’s highest listed ODI total against Pakistan is 361/8, achieved in that same match. Their other major totals include 312/9 in the 2025 Women’s World Cup and 292/3 in Lahore in September 2025.

South Africa’s 185/5 in the first T20I of February 2026 was enough to defeat Pakistan, who scored 180/9. The five-wicket margin reflected a successful chase rather than a one-sided contest.

Bowling Statistics

Bowling performances have shaped the rivalry in both formats. South Africa’s overall ODI advantage reflects their ability to restrict Pakistan across a long period, while Pakistan have produced important bowling performances in individual matches.

One of the most notable recent examples came in the third ODI on March 1, 2026. Pakistan scored 306/8 before bowling South Africa out for 187, securing a 119-run victory. The result demonstrated how a strong batting total can give the bowling attack room to apply pressure throughout the chase.

South Africa’s bowling also proved decisive in the 2025 ODI series in Pakistan. They won the second ODI by 25 runs under the DLS method after posting 292/3, then lost the third match as Pakistan chased down their target.

In T20I cricket, Pakistan’s 53-run victory on February 16, 2026 was another example of their ability to defend a strong total. Pakistan scored 144/7, then dismissed South Africa for 91. Sana Fatima was named Player of the Match after scoring 47 from 30 balls and taking two wickets for 12 runs.

Highest Team Totals

The highest team totals provide a useful snapshot of how the rivalry has evolved. The recent record includes several totals above 280 in ODI cricket, showing that both teams can score heavily under suitable conditions.

The 361/8 score in Centurion is South Africa’s highest listed ODI total against Pakistan. Pakistan’s 345 in the same match is their highest listed ODI total against South Africa.

The 2025 Women’s World Cup also produced a significant South African total. South Africa made 312/9 against Pakistan in Colombo on October 21, 2025, then won by 150 runs under the DLS method.

Lowest Team Totals

Low totals have also been part of the rivalry. Pakistan’s lowest listed all-out ODI total against South Africa is 61, recorded at Stellenbosch on February 24, 2008. South Africa’s lowest listed all-out ODI total against Pakistan is 63, recorded at Potchefstroom on May 6, 2019.

The T20I low-score records show that both teams have experienced difficult batting conditions. South Africa’s 64/8 in Doha and Pakistan’s 87/8 in Colombo are among the lowest listed totals in their T20I meetings.

Top Individual Scores

Individual batting records have contributed to several landmark matches. South Africa’s Sune Luus scored an unbeaten 107 against Pakistan in Karachi on September 8, 2023, one of the major individual ODI performances in the fixture.

Bismah Maroof also produced important innings for Pakistan. Her highest listed ODI scores against South Africa include 99 in Sharjah on March 13, 2015 and 60 in Doha in January 2014.

In T20Is, Deandra van Niekerk’s unbeaten 90 in Sylhet on March 23, 2014 stands out for South Africa. Lizelle Lee also made an unbeaten 67 in that match. Pakistan’s highest listed T20I innings in the records include Bismah Maroof’s unbeaten 53 in Pretoria in May 2019.

Best Bowling Performances

Bowling records in the rivalry include match-winning spells in both ODI and T20I cricket.

In T20Is, Shabnim Ismail’s five-wicket haul against Pakistan in Durban on January 31, 2021 is a standout performance. She took 5/12, helping South Africa restrict Pakistan.

Recent matches have also featured valuable contributions from Pakistan’s bowlers. During the third T20I in February 2026, Pakistan dismissed South Africa for 91 while defending 144/7. That 53-run win helped Pakistan finish the series with a victory.

Bowling success in this fixture often depends on controlling the middle overs and preventing partnerships from developing. South Africa’s long-term ODI record reflects their consistency in this area, while Pakistan’s strongest results have often come when their bowlers have supported competitive totals.
