South Africa, Pakistan meet at Edgbaston after 0-1 starts — Pakw Vs Sa-w
South Africa and Pakistan meet in pakw vs sa-w at 1:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, with both teams sitting on 0 points after opening losses. The Group A match at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham, England, is an early chance to stop a second straight setback from shaping the rest of the tournament.
Edgbaston Meeting
South Africa arrives at 0-1 after a 65-run loss to Australia, when Laura Wolvaardt made 44 off 39 balls and Nadine de Klerk added 25 off 22. Australia posted 172/8, and South Africa was held to 107 at Old Trafford Cricket Grounds in Manchester on Saturday.
Pakistan also comes in at 0-1, having fallen to India by 64 runs at Edgbaston on Sunday. Muneeba Ali scored 41 off 35 balls, Aliya Riaz added 18 off 17, and Pakistan’s bowling effort was led by Sadia Iqbal and Fatima Sana with two wickets apiece.
Wolvaardt And Muneeba
Wolvaardt’s innings was the top score in South Africa’s first match, while Pakistan leaned on Muneeba to keep its chase moving before the margin opened up. Nonkululeko Mlaba’s 2 for 22, along with two wickets each from Ayabonga Khaka and de Klerk, gave South Africa enough bite with the ball to keep Australia from posting even more.
Pakistan had similar resistance from its attack, but Nashra Sundhu finished with 0 for 25 as India reached 170/6 and Pakistan finished on 106. The numbers leave both sides in the same place entering this meeting: one loss, no points, and little margin for another slip in Group A.
South Africa Pakistan History
The matchup also carries a clear record line. South Africa leads Pakistan 15-12 all-time, won two of three matches during Pakistan’s tour of South Africa in February, and has reached the last two Women’s T20 World Cup finals. Pakistan has played in all 10 T20 World Cups but has yet to move past the opening phase.
For a reader following the group table, the practical takeaway is simple: this is a direct chance to stay within reach after the first round of losses. Fans can watch on Willow TV, and the match is also listed as available to stream on Fubo.
The result will not settle Group A, but it will show which side handled its opening defeat better and turned the first pressure game into a foothold.
