Sri Lanka Women vs South Africa Women Head to Head Stats
Covers 32 matches between Sri Lanka Women and South Africa Women from Sep 2012 to Oct 2025 (Tests, ODIs and T20Is with ball-by-ball records).
In the Sri Lanka Women vs South Africa Women head to head, South Africa hold a 20-9 lead over 32 white-ball games played between Sep 2012 and Oct 2025. Three ODIs were washed out.
That gap is wider in the 50-over game than in T20Is, where Sri Lanka have closed in lately. It also produced a run feast at Potchefstroom in Apr 2024, when both sides passed 300 in one ODI.
How the Two Formats Compare
South Africa lead the ODIs 10-3, with 3 no results in 16 matches since Oct 2013. The two most recent ODIs went their way, the second by 10 wickets on DLS at Colombo on 17 Oct 2025. Sri Lanka’s wins are rare but striking. At Potchefstroom on 17 Apr 2024 they hunted down South Africa’s 301/5, getting to 305/4 inside 44.3 overs for a 6-wicket win.
The T20I record is 10-6 to South Africa from 16 games, with no washouts. Here the trend has turned. Sri Lanka won by 3 runs at Cape Town on 10 Feb 2023 and then won the last 2 T20Is, at Potchefstroom and East London in 2024. South Africa’s 79-run win at Benoni on 27 Mar 2024 is still the largest margin in the format.

Grounds where Sri Lanka Women vs South Africa Women have met most
Chamari Athapaththu, listed in the scorebook as AC Jayangani (Sri Lanka), carries her side’s batting. Nobody has more runs in either format: 693 in ODIs at 49.50, 392 in T20Is. Her unbeaten 195 from 139 deliveries at Potchefstroom is the rivalry’s top score, and her 5 match awards equal the tally of D van Niekerk (South Africa).
Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa) sits second in ODIs on 606, averaging 101.00, a figure lifted by her unbeaten 184 in that Potchefstroom run chase. Her 102 from 63 balls at Benoni is the lone T20I century.
South Africa’s seamers have done the most damage. S Ismail (South Africa) has 19 ODI wickets at 12.74 and M Kapp (South Africa) has 16 in T20Is. Sri Lanka’s worst day came at Edgbaston on 4 Aug 2022, all out for 46.
Chasing, Toss and Venues
Chasing has clearly been the better option. Teams batting second have won 9 of the 13 completed ODIs and 10 of 16 T20Is. First innings have averaged 203 (ODIs) and only 118 (T20Is), so targets have rarely been daunting. The toss has been neutral in T20Is, its winner taking 8 of 16, and slightly against the winner in ODIs at 5 of 13.
Senwes Park in Potchefstroom has staged 10 of the 32 games, with South Africa winning 6 and Sri Lanka 3. At Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium, the South Africans lead 2-1. Other hosts include SuperSport Park, Newlands and the SSC Ground.
