South Africa women's national cricket team record by opponent

South Africa women at Taunton, 2009 ICC Women's World Twenty20

The South Africa women's national cricket team has represented South Africa in international women's cricket since 1960, when they hosted England, contesting four Test matches. Their next officially recognised series was against New Zealand, more than eleven years later. In 1977, they were excluded from competing in international sporting events, when the Commonwealth of Nations signed the Gleneagles Agreement as part of the international campaign against apartheid.^[1] Although the men's national team returned to international cricket in 1991, the women's team did not compete again until 1997, when they toured Ireland and England. Since then, the team has played regularly in One Day Internationals (ODI). The introduction of Twenty20 cricket in the early part of the 21st century has all but eliminated Test cricket from the woman's game.^[2] South Africa have played four Test matches since their return,^[3] and 30 Twenty20 Internationals (T20I) since their first such contest in 2007.^[4]

South Africa have played four different sides in women's Test cricket, with England their most frequent opponent, having faced them in six Tests. The only side that South Africa have beaten in Test cricket are the Netherlands, who South Africa have played once, in 2007.^[5] South Africa have similarly faced England more times than any other team in women's One Day International cricket, playing 30 matches. As such, England have recorded the most victories against South Africa, beating them 23 times. South Africa have beaten Ireland and Pakistan more times than any other country, triumphing on eight occasions against each of them.^[6] In women's T20Is, South Africa have played the West Indies the most, and lost to them on all nine occasions. South Africa have recorded the most victories against Bangladesh and Pakistan, beating both of them twice.^[7]
