South Africa set to Tour Pakistan for three T20I before Women’s T20 World Cup

South Africa is going to tour Pakistan for a short T20I series as a heads-up for the Women’s T20 World Cup. The games date from September 16 to 20, will all be played in Multan.

South Africa will land on Multan on September 13, and leave for UAE on September 21 to prepare for the World Cup.

“This T20I series against Pakistan is a critical part of our preparations for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup,” CSA director of cricket Enoch Nkwe said.

“It offers the team the invaluable opportunity to gain match practice, allowing us to refine our strategies and ensure that our players are in peak form,” he added.

This tour will mark South Africa’s second tour of Pakistan in a little bit over than a year. Both the teams faced off between September 1 and 14 last year.

“We are incredibly grateful to the PCB for their collaboration and efforts in arranging this series. This series not only helps us prepare for the World Cup but also strengthens the relationship between our two cricket boards as the Proteas Women visit Pakistan for the second time in a year. It’s a testament to the shared commitment we have toward growing the women’s game,” Nkwe said.

“Moreover, by playing more international matches, we’re providing our players with the platform to showcase their talent and inspire the next generation of cricketers. We look forward to a competitive series that will benefit both teams and further elevate women’s cricket on the world stage,” he added.
