The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced that the South Africa Women’s U-19 team will visit Pakistan for the first time in history. The tour will feature a five-match T20 series against the Pakistan Women’s U-19 side, providing a valuable platform for young cricketers from both nations to gain international experience.
According to the PCB, all five matches will be played at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi from July 14 to July 24. The opening match is scheduled for July 14, while the remaining fixtures will take place on July 17, 19, 22, and 24. Match timings will be confirmed at a later date.
The South African squad is expected to arrive in Karachi on July 10. Ahead of the series, the team will participate in training sessions at the National Bank Stadium from July 11 to July 13 as part of its preparations for the tour.
This series marks an important milestone for women’s youth cricket and reflects the growing cricketing relationship between Pakistan and South Africa. It will also provide emerging players with an opportunity to test their skills in competitive international conditions.
Pakistan Women’s U-19 team enters the series after a successful outing against Bangladesh. In their most recent bilateral T20 series, Pakistan secured a 3-2 victory in the five-match contest, boosting the confidence of the young squad ahead of another international challenge.
PCB officials believe the upcoming series will play a significant role in preparing the national side for major tournaments. The matches are expected to help players build experience and improve their performance before the ACC Women’s U-19 T20 Asia Cup later this year and the ICC Women’s U-19 T20 World Cup scheduled for next year.
