Form Guide

Though Pakistani women might not have had a great run in ODI bilaterals, having last won their last series in 2022, their great performances in the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup qualifiers ensured that their recent form in the format was decent.

South African women have also not had the best of times in the 50-over format, where they suffered a whitewash against Bangladesh Women and a disappointing performance in the Tri-series against Sri Lankan women and India Women. However, their recent form has improved after their performances against the West Indies Women and the ongoing series.

Pitch and Weather

The surface at the Gaddafi Stadium has been a batting paradise so far, where the batters have enjoyed playing their shots and scoring their runs freely. There have been six centuries scored at this venue in the last two games. Fielding first should be the ideal choice since the wicket tends to remain flat and hard throughout the game.

The conditions in Lahore are expected to be hot and humid, with the probable temperature being around 30-35 degrees Celsius.
