Who Will Win South Africa Women vs Pakistan Women 2nd ODI 2026 Match Prediction
The South Africa Women vs Pakistan Women prediction for the 2nd ODI 2026 sets up a decisive clash at SuperSport Park. South Africa Women will look to seal the three-match ODI series after a commanding 37-run win in the rain-affected opener. Pakistan Women, on the other hand, are under pressure to bounce back and level the series. With batting second historically proving advantageous at Centurion, the toss could once again play a critical role in shaping the outcome.
In the first ODI, South Africa’s middle order delivered a clinical performance. Sune Luus led the charge with a match-defining 93 off 76 balls, while Sinalo Jafta’s unbeaten 57 added finishing power. The bowling unit, spearheaded by Tumi Sekhukhune’s three-wicket haul, ensured Pakistan never gained momentum. For Pakistan Women, Ayesha Zafar (81) and Sidra Amin (68) showed resilience, but a lack of support from the lower order cost them dearly.
Centurion traditionally offers pace and bounce, favoring seamers early on. However, as the match progresses, spinners like Nonkululeko Mlaba and Nashra Sandhu can influence proceedings. South Africa’s superior depth and home advantage give them a significant edge, but Pakistan’s experienced campaigners will aim to respond strongly.
Let’s analyze match details, team previews, squads, probable XIs, pitch and weather report, and final prediction.

South Africa Women Preview
South Africa Women head into the second ODI brimming with confidence after their convincing win in the opener. Captain Laura Wolvaardt will likely stick with the same XI, given the all-round dominance displayed.
Sune Luus has been in sublime form, scoring 66*, 114, 25, and 93* in her last four innings. Her ability to anchor and accelerate makes her South Africa’s key batter. Wolvaardt herself contributes stability at the top, while Tazmin Brits and Lara Goodall add depth.
The middle order is strengthened by Chloe Tryon and Nadine de Klerk, who can shift gears quickly. Sinalo Jafta’s aggressive finishing in the previous match showcased South Africa’s lower-order capability.
Bowling remains their major strength. Tumi Sekhukhune has claimed eight wickets in her last four ODIs, consistently troubling batters with pace and movement. Nonkululeko Mlaba’s left-arm spin provides control in middle overs, while Nadine de Klerk and Chloe Tryon add versatility.
South Africa’s advantage lies in their balance and familiarity with Centurion conditions. If they bat first and cross 250, their bowling unit is well-equipped to defend it.
Pakistan Women Preview
Pakistan Women enter this contest needing a strong response. While the top order showed promise in the opener, the lack of partnerships hurt their chase.
Ayesha Zafar’s 81 and Sidra Amin’s 68 were bright spots. Sidra Amin remains Pakistan’s most reliable limited-overs batter. Aliya Riaz’s experience and past success against South Africa add hope for the visitors.
The bowling attack revolves around Nashra Sandhu and Sadia Iqbal. Nashra has claimed 11 wickets in her last three ODIs against South Africa. Diana Baig and Fatima Sana will aim to exploit Centurion’s seam-friendly surface.
Pakistan’s challenge will be consistency. They must convert starts into big scores and tighten death bowling. If their spinners control the middle overs and the batters build partnerships, an upset remains possible.
