Pakistan women tour of South Africa - 2021

Pakistani Women were scheduled to travel to South Africa for a limited overs series. This tour consists of three One Day Games and three T20 International Games, which will commence on 20th January and the conclusion of this series, will be found on 3rd February, 2021. Now, Pakistan have announced their touring women party and this blog is a clear explanation of that touring party.

After West Indies women touring England, in the late 2020, which marked as the first Women's International Tour, post COVID lockdown, now Pakistan is scheduled to tour South Africa, and this will be the second time ( apart from 2020 Women Big Bash League, 2020 Women's IPL and 2020 Pakistan's National Triangular T20 Women’s Cricket Championship ). Now, along with announcing schedule, PCB have also announced their squad and this squad is partly based on the performances of this year's National Triangular T20 Women's Cricket Championship, which was played from 22nd of November to the 1st of December. 

This squad is led by Javeria Khan, who has an abundant experience in International cricket. Nahida Khan finished the National Triangular T20 Women’s Cricket Championship as the leading run-scorer with 154 runs at an average above 51 from her four outings. Her PCB Dynamites teammate Ayesha Zafar was the fourth best batter in the tournament with 111 runs. 

All-rounder Kainat Imtiaz was awarded player of the tournament award as she scored 111 runs from four outings, getting dismissed once, and took three wickets, while left-arm spinner Nashra Sandhu finished as the joint leading wicket-taker in the tournament with four wickets at 25.

Pakistani Women Squad - Javeria Khan (c), Aimen Anwar, Aliya Riaz, Anam Amin, Ayesha Naseem, Ayesha Zafar. Kainat Imtiaz, Nahida Khan, Daina Baig, Fatima Sana, Muneeba Ali Siddiqui, Nashra Sandhu, Nida Dar, Omaima Sohail, Sadia Iqbal, Sidra Nawaz, Syeda Aroob Shah.

This tour will begin from 20th January and gets concluded on 3rd of February. A small two week tour, but will be more effective for these two teams, as they both are shaping up their squads for 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup and also the great 2022 Commonwealth Games tournament. Durban and Pietermaritzburg. 

1st ODI - 20th January, Durban
2nd ODI - 23rd January, Durban
3rd ODI - 26th January, Pietermaritzburg
1st T20I - 29th January, Pietermaritzburg
2nd T20I - 31st January, Pietermaritzburg

This team will be travelling to South Africa on 11th of January and immediately after their six day quarantine period, cricket will be commenced. During previous occasion, at 2018, Pakistan dominated South African tour with some blistering performances. Will the good performances be repeated again ? The answer will be found on 3rd of February.
