Preview:
South Africa will play against Pakistan in the 2nd match of the three-match ODI series on Super Saturday at Kingsmead, Durban. After winning the first match of the series by 3 runs in the final over, the hosts keen on taking up the series with one game to spare. Though managing to score only 200 runs, they defended well and are 1-0 up in this series. They needed some extra effort from their bowlers and they delivered in an excellent manner.
On the other hand, Pakistan Women are in a must-win situation. There were some notable all-round performances from Nida Dar and Diana Baig. The fighting spirit and character of the team were visible, but they need to be more clinical. They need to increase their batting strike-rate if they were to win the 2nd ODI.
