Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 match number 22 between South Africa and Pakistan at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Pakistan, led by Fatima Sana, will be aiming to claim their first victory of the tournament against Laura Wolvaardt’s South Africa, who have already booked their spot in the semi-finals and are currently placed 3rd in the points table. Pakistan, on the other hand, have had a tough World Cup campaign so far, losing 3 matches against India, Bangladesh and Australia with the other 2 matches against England and New Zealand turning out to be a complete washout. As a result, they sit at the bottom of the table with just 2 points and today they will be playing for pride against the Proteas Women. Stay tuned for all the updates from Toss to playing XI and LIVE scores.
