South Africa Women's Tour of Pakistan, 2024 - Series Overview

In the first T20I match between Pakistan and South Africa, Aliya Riaz's late effort wasn't enough to save Pakistan from a 10-run defeat. Pakistan was chasing a target of 133 runs but ended up scoring 122 for 5. Aliya Riaz and Fatima Sana fought hard towards the end, adding 75 runs in just 44 balls, but Pakistan fell short of the target.

South African bowlers, especially Marizanne Kapp and Ayabonga Khaka, made it tough for Pakistan from the beginning. Kapp and Tumi Sekhukhune each took two wickets, reducing Pakistan to 21 for 4 early in the match. Nida Dar and Aliya Riaz tried to steady the innings, but Pakistan only reached 47 for 5 after their partnership.

With most of the top-order batters out, the required run rate kept increasing. Fatima Sana played aggressively, hitting boundaries and taking quick singles and twos, while Aliya Riaz held back her attack until late in the innings. Unfortunately, by the time Aliya started hitting big shots, the match was already slipping out of Pakistan’s hands.

Earlier, South Africa set a competitive target, thanks to Tazmin Brits, who scored an unbeaten 56 runs. Pakistani bowlers, especially Sadia Iqbal (who took three wickets) and Nida Dar (who bowled economically), kept South Africa in check after they chose to bat first.

South Africa: 132/4 in 20 overs (Tazmin Brits 56, Sune Luus 27; Sadia Iqbal 3-34, Nida Dar 1-11)  

Pakistan:122/5 in 20 overs (Aliya Riaz 52, Fatima Sana 37; Tumi Sekhukhune 2-15, Marizanne Kapp 2-22)  

 Result: South Africa won by 10 runs.
