THE Proteas Women’s Team takes on the White Ferns of New Zealand in a One Day International (ODI) at Hollywoodbets Kingsmead on Sunday, October 1.

The home side currently led the series 2–0 in a series that plays a crucial part in the ICC Women’s Championship 2022-25 qualification journey ahead of the next 50-over World Cup.

The third ODI will take on added significance with an all-black affair as the Proteas Women play in their third Black Day match to continue their fight against gender-based violence (GBV) and to promote gender equality.

Players from both teams will don black armbands and their respective black kits as a symbol of solidarity and support for the cause.

The third Black Day game is set to return to its first home of Durban in KwaZulu-Natal – the first two instalments took place against Pakistan in 2021 and the West Indies in 2022, with South Africa emerging victorious on both occasions.

CSA chief executive Pholetsi Moseki explained the importance of the Black Day kit.

“The Black Day initiative exemplifies the devotion of CSA and the Proteas Women’s team in using the platform of cricket to address vital social issues. The inclusion of the Black Day ODI adds a meaningful dimension to the series, shining a light on the transformative power of sports in advocating for positive change in society.”
