Proteas to face Pakistan in Central South Africa─── MORGAN PIEK 12:50 Thu, 20 Mar 2025

International cricket will return to Bloemfontein, Kimberley, and Potchefstroom next year, with the Pakistan Women’s cricket team set to tour South Africa.
Each of the three cities will host a match early in the year as part of the tour, which includes both a T20 International series and a One-Day International (ODI) series.
The JB Marks Oval in Potchefstroom will stage the first of three T20 Internationals on 10 February, while the final match of the series will take place at the Diamond Oval in Kimberley.

Additionally, a one-day warm-up match between Emerging South Africa and Pakistan will be played in Kimberley.
The first One-Day International is scheduled for 22 February at Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein, with the remaining two ODIs to be played in Pretoria and Durban.
Meanwhile, Ireland will also be touring South Africa in December. The Proteas Women will face Ireland in a three-match T20 International series, followed by a three-match ODI series.

The T20Is will be hosted in Cape Town, Paarl, and Benoni, while the ODIs will take place in East London, Gqeberha, and Johannesburg.
Cricket South Africa (CSA) CEO Pholetsi Moseki expressed excitement about welcoming different opponents to South Africa.
“We are looking forward to seeing our women take on Ireland and Pakistan. These tours not only provide our team with strong competition but also give our fans the opportunity to watch the Proteas Women in action at their favourite venues across the country,” said Moseki.
