Pakistan will take on South Africa in a crucial group stage match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on Tuesday, 21 October. The match is live today and carries significant implications for both teams.
Pakistan’s slim hopes of reaching the semi-finals depend on a victory, as they sit at the bottom of the table with just one point from four games. South Africa, having secured a semi-final spot, currently occupy third place with eight points from five matches.
South Africa have recovered strongly after a heavy opening defeat to England, winning their last four matches against New Zealand, India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. In contrast, Pakistan have struggled, losing to Bangladesh, India, and Australia, while two of their matches against England and New Zealand were washed out due to rain.
South Africa’s best World Cup performance was reaching the semi-finals in 2017. Pakistan have yet to progress beyond the group stage in any edition of the tournament.

The pitch at R. Premadasa Stadium offers a balanced and flat surface initially but tends to deteriorate as the match progresses. It provides consistent bounce early on but slows down and assists spinners in the middle overs. Pacers receive minimal assistance, making it a spinner-friendly wicket, especially under day-night conditions typical of subcontinental venues.
