Match Details
Match: Pakistan Women vs South Africa Women (ODI)
Date & Time: 16 September, 10:00 AM IST
Venue: Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
Short Match Preview
Recent Form:
Pakistan W: W W W W W (excellent momentum)
South Africa W: W W L W L (mixed, but high ceiling)
H2H snapshot (recent): Advantage SA-W overall, but Pakistan’s home/venue returns for their spinners are strong.
Narrative: Pakistan bring a five-match streak driven by their bowling unit (Sadia Iqbal, Nashra Sandhu, Diana Baig). SA-W possess star all-rounders—Marizanne Kapp, Nadine de Klerk, Anneke Dercksen, Chloe Tryon—and powerful top order (Tazmin Brits, Laura Wolvaardt). Toss and early movement will shape the first innings; batting first historically shows a slight edge here.
Win Probability (pre-toss)
Team | Chance |
|---|---|
South Africa Women | 54% |
Pakistan Women | 46% |
Rationale: SA’s all-rounder depth and H2H edge vs Pakistan’s superior venue-specific bowling form and current streak.

What this means for fantasy
First innings: back top-order anchors + new-ball pacers.

Venue Fantasy Standouts (Lahore)
Sadia Iqbal (PAK) – consistent L-A spinner; strong venue average.
Nashra Sandhu (PAK) – repeat C/VC appearances at this ground.

Diana Baig (PAK) – PP impact, wicket-taking bursts.
(SA haven’t played much here recently; adjust weight slightly towards Pakistan bowlers for venue familiarity.)

Suggested Dream11 Team (Pre-toss)
WK (1):
Muneeba Ali (PAK)
BAT (4):
Laura Wolvaardt (SA)
Tazmin Brits (SA)
Sidra Ameen (PAK)
Sune Luus (SA)
AR (3):
Marizanne Kapp (SA) – C
Anneke Dercksen (SA)
Chloe Tryon (SA)
BOWL (3):
Nashra Sandhu (PAK) – VC
Sadia Iqbal (PAK)
Diana Baig (PAK)
Team balance: SA 6 / PAK 5
Bench/Alt swaps (based on toss & XIs):
If extra pace on offer: Ayabonga Khaka or Masabata Klaas ↔ replace one of Sidra/Luus.
If Pakistan load spin: keep Nashra + Sadia locked; consider Nida Dar if named and bowling full quota.
Conditional Strategy Tips
If Pakistan bat first:
Elevate Sidra Ameen to VC (anchor role into 35–45 overs).
Keep double Pakistan spin (Nashra, Sadia) – squeeze in 2nd innings.
If South Africa bat first:
Maintain Kapp (C). Consider Brits/Wolvaardt VC for PP platform.
Add Khaka/Klaas if surface shows early seam; can swap for a Pakistan bowler.
If Pakistan chase:
Retain Tryon (finishing impact) and de Klerk.
Consider one of Aliya Riaz/Nida Dar (if XI confirms all-round overs).
If South Africa chase:
Nashra VC remains strong (spin in 2nd inns).
Kapp still safest C due to 2-skill involvement.
Final Word
Prioritize multi-skill players (Kapp, Dercksen, Tryon, de Klerk) and Pakistan’s venue-proven spinners (Nashra, Sadia). Adjust 1–2 slots at toss once you see bat-first vs chase and any late moisture hints. Keep a small GL version with Brits (C) or Tryon (C) for upside.
