All to Play for as SA U19 Women and Pakistan Head to Youth T20I Decider

The five-match Youth T20I series between the SA U19 Women and Pakistan will go down to the wire after the hosts claimed a six-wicket victory in the fourth match to level the contest at 2-2 at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi, Pakistan on Wednesday, 22 July 2026.

Pakistan successfully chased down a target of 110 after restricting South Africa to 109/8 in their 20 overs. An unbeaten partnership of 70 between Zoofishan Ayyaz, who finished on 44 not out, and captain Fizza Fiaz (28 not out) propelled the hosts to victory after a superb spell from spinner Respect Mabasa (3/25) had threatened their innings.

The visitors won the toss and elected to bat first. Opener Chanel Venter (1) fell to Rozina Akram (2/21) in the second over before Shreeya Subbiah (30) and Deidré van Rensburg (23) guided South Africa to 35/1 at the end of the powerplay. Van Rensburg departed three balls later, dismissed by Mah Noor (1/24).

Subbiah then combined with captain Mieke van Voorst (14) in a crucial 33-run partnership for the third wicket before Akram struck again in the 13th over to remove Subbiah. Van Voorst was then run out later in the same over.
