South Africa and Pakistan meet at Edgbaston in the 11th match of the tournament. South Africa’s likely XI has Laura Wolvaardt at the helm, backed by experience in Sune Luus, Marizanne Kapp, Nadine de Klerk and Chloe Tryon, with Sinalo Jafta behind the stumps and Shabnim Ismail leading the pace attack.
Pakistan, captained by Fatima Sana, have Gull Feroza, Muneeba Ali and Ayesha Zafar at the top, while Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal and Tasmia Rubab provide bowling options. They will rely on early wickets and disciplined bowling to stay competitive.
Conditions should be mild, with partly cloudy skies and a pitch that is good for batting once players are set. Movement in the first three to four overs could be crucial, and dew in the second innings might make chasing slightly easier. If the South Africa top order fires, their stronger depth is expected to decide it.
