PCB Announces Schedule for Pakistan Women’s U19 T20 Series Against South Africa
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has released the schedule for the upcoming five-match Women’s Under-19 T20 series between Pakistan and South Africa. The matches will be played in Karachi from July 14 to July 24, providing valuable international experience for both teams.
All five fixtures will take place at the National Bank Stadium, with each match scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. (local time).
South Africa U19 Team to Make Historic Pakistan Tour
The tour marks the first-ever visit of South Africa’s Women’s Under-19 cricket team to Pakistan.
The visiting squad is scheduled to arrive in Karachi ahead of the opening match, giving both teams time to complete their preparations before the series begins.
Important Preparation for Upcoming Tournaments
The series will serve as an important part of Pakistan Women’s Under-19 team’s preparations for two major international events.
The young players will use the matches to build experience ahead of the ACC Women’s U19 Asia Cup, which Pakistan is expected to host later this year, as well as the ICC Women’s U19 T20 World Cup, scheduled for early next year.

Fizza Fiaz to Lead Pakistan
The PCB has named a 17-member squad for the home series, with Fizza Fiaz appointed as captain.
Fizza earned recognition for her strong performances, including a match-winning half-century during Pakistan’s Under-19 series against Bangladesh last year.
The Women’s National Selection Committee has introduced six new players into the squad while retaining the majority of the players who helped Pakistan secure a 3-2 series victory over Bangladesh.
The selection reflects the board’s continued focus on developing young talent and building a competitive squad for future international tournaments.
The upcoming series is expected to provide valuable match experience for emerging cricketers as Pakistan continues preparing its next generation of women’s cricket talent for regional and global competitions.
