The South African womens cricket team will be looking to gather momentum for the ICC T20 World Cup when they meet Pakistan in a T20 international series in Multan next week. The T20 World Cup will take place in the United Arab Emirates next month.
Meanwhile, the Proteas mens cricket team will face Afghanistan in a series for the very first time. The series will take place amid controversial circumstances due to the Talibans cruel laws denying women basic rights, such as the right to education and employment.
The Proteas women will tour Pakistan for a three-match T20 international series starting on Monday. Its a preparatory series ahead of the Womens T20 World Cup in UAE in October.
Proteas player Tumi Sekhukhune says they will be looking to acclimatize to the conditions and gather momentum for the World Cup.
"Its exciting to start in Pakistan to get the momentum going to the World Cup. Its quite interesting that we get used to the conditions for the World Cup. We will see how we do there and hopefully, take that momentum to the World Cup."
