It’s been a torrid Women's T20 tour for Pakistan. South Africa have been dominant throughout the series. After winning the ODI series 3-0, South Africa also won the first T20I comfortably to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match Women's T20 series.
South Africa have been excellent with both bat and ball in the Women's T20 series. While their batting has blown hot and cold, their bowlers have been superb. They were excellent in the first Women's T20 as well, restricting Pakistan to just 124 before overhauling the target with eight wickets and an over to spare.
Sune Luus and her women will be favourites to seal the Women's T20 series in the second game.
On the other hand, Pakistan haven’t hit their stride during this tour. Their batting has been a big disappointment. Their bowlers have done well, restricting South Africa to decent scores in the ODI series, but their batters have not risen to the fore.
In the first Women's T20, they could muster only 124 on a good batting surface. Their batting needs to fire for Pakistan to make a comeback in the series.

Date: January 31st 2021, 7 PM IST.
Venue: Kingsmead, Durban.
Pitch Report
The 22-yard surface at the Kingsmead in Durban has been a decent one to bat on. However, there has been some movement for the pacers and turn for the spinners as well. This game should be no different in that regard, and another sporting track could be in the offing.
