Laura Wolvaardt kicked off with an aggressive start, scoring 90 off 82 balls, and was well-supported by Sune Luus with 61 runs, as they formed a formidable partnership. After Luus's departure, Marizanne Kapp added a solid 68, further anchoring the innings.

Nadine de Klerk finished in style, delivering a quick-fire 41 from just 16 balls, which included three boundaries and four sixes. The Pakistani bowlers, especially Fatima Sana and Sadia Iqbal, struggled, conceding several boundaries as the Proteas women unleashed a batting onslaught.
