South Africa Women's National Cricket Team Vs Pakistan Women's National Cricket Team Matches

The South Africa Women’s National Cricket Team Vs Pakistan Women’s National Cricket Team matches have produced a competitive international rivalry across women’s ODI and T20I cricket. The two teams first met in the 1997 Women’s Cricket World Cup, and their rivalry has since expanded through bilateral series and ICC tournaments.

By the end of the 2026 season, South Africa Women and Pakistan Women had played 58 senior women’s international matches across ODIs and T20Is. South Africa have won 39, Pakistan have won 18, and one ODI has ended in a tie. The ODI record is more strongly weighted toward South Africa, while Pakistan have also produced important results in T20Is, including a three-match T20I series sweep in Karachi in 2023.

South Africa Women vs Pakistan Women Matches Overview

The first recorded ODI meeting between South Africa Women and Pakistan Women took place on December 16, 1997, during the Women’s Cricket World Cup in Vadodara, India. South Africa won that match by 149 runs.

Since then, the teams have met regularly in both 50-over and T20 international cricket. Their rivalry has included World Cup fixtures, bilateral tours and closely contested limited-overs matches.

The latest major bilateral programme took place in South Africa in February and March 2026. The tour consisted of three T20Is followed by three ODIs. Pakistan won the final T20I by 53 runs, while South Africa won the first two T20Is. In the ODI series, South Africa won the first two matches before Pakistan won the third by 119 runs.

ODI	31	24	6	1 Tie
T20I	27	15	12	0

The ODI figures exclude no-results and abandoned matches from the win-loss calculation, while the T20I head-to-head record lists 27 matches, with South Africa leading 15-12.

South Africa Women vs Pakistan Women Head-to-Head Record

The head-to-head record shows South Africa with the larger number of victories overall. The difference is particularly noticeable in ODI cricket, where South Africa have won 24 of 31 completed-result matches against six Pakistan victories, with one tie.

T20I cricket has been considerably closer. Before the 2026 Women’s T20 World Cup, the two teams had already played 27 T20Is, with South Africa leading 15-12. Pakistan’s three-match T20I sweep in Karachi in 2023 was an important part of that record.

The overall totals combine the ODI and T20I records and therefore count the tied ODI separately from wins and losses.

South Africa Women vs Pakistan Women ODI Matches

ODIs have historically been the most frequent format in the South Africa-Pakistan women’s rivalry.

Their first ODI was played at the 1997 Women’s Cricket World Cup. South Africa scored 253/6 and then dismissed Pakistan for 104, winning by 149 runs. Player of the Match A. Kuylaars remained unbeaten on 74.

The rivalry later produced a particularly unusual result in May 2019, when an ODI between the teams ended in a tie. Both teams scored 265, making it one of the closest results in their ODI history.

South Africa have generally controlled the ODI head-to-head record, although Pakistan have recorded several victories over the years.

ODI Head-to-Head	Record
Matches	31
South Africa wins	24
Pakistan wins	6

South Africa win percentage in completed-result matches	Higher

The most recent ODI series before the 2026 World Cup featured South Africa and Pakistan meeting three times in September 2025. South Africa won the first two matches before Pakistan won the third by six wickets.

South Africa Women vs Pakistan Women T20I Matches

The T20I rivalry began later than the ODI rivalry and has developed into a much more closely balanced contest.

The teams have played 27 T20Is, with South Africa winning 15 and Pakistan winning 12.

One of the most notable T20I series came in May 2019, when the teams played five matches in South Africa. Pakistan won the opening match, while South Africa won the next four.

The rivalry also featured a major Pakistan achievement in 2023, when Pakistan won all three T20Is in Karachi. The result was significant because it reduced South Africa’s advantage in the overall T20I head-to-head record.

T20I Period	Notable Result
2019	South Africa won 4-1 in a five-match series
2020	South Africa won at the T20 World Cup
2023	Pakistan won the three-match series 3-0
2024	South Africa won 2-1 in Pakistan
2026	South Africa won the first two T20Is; Pakistan won the third

The 2026 T20I series again illustrated the competitive nature of the format. South Africa won the opening two matches before Pakistan responded with a 53-run victory in the third.

First Meeting in 1997

The South Africa Women’s National Cricket Team Vs Pakistan Women’s National Cricket Team matches began during the 1997-98 Women’s Cricket World Cup.

On December 16, 1997, the teams met at the Indian Petrochemicals Corporation Limited Sports Complex Ground in Vadodara. South Africa batted first and made 253/6 from their 50 overs.

Pakistan were then dismissed for 104 in 36.1 overs, giving South Africa a 149-run victory. A. Kuylaars top-scored for South Africa with an unbeaten 74 and was named Player of the Match.
