Pakistan faced a challenging task on the cricket field, scoring just 83 runs in their allotted 20 overs against an efficient South African bowling unit. The innings suffered early setbacks, with Muneeba Ali, Omaima Sohail, and others falling cheaply.

Leading the attack, Marizanne Kapp dismantled Pakistan's batting order by claiming three wickets for 20 runs. Her precise deliveries slashed through the top order, as Sidra Amin and Aliya Riaz struggled to make a significant impact on the scoreboard.

Complementing Kapp's performance, Nondumiso Shangase delivered a tight spell, snaring two wickets. South Africa's fielding and bowling precision left Pakistan floundering, unable to recover or build partnerships throughout their innings.
