PAKISTAN VS SOUTH AFRICA TODAY’S MATCH PREDICTION

We are putting our money on the Proteas to win this game against Pakistan. Temba Bavuma and his boys have momentum on their side, and they have been the most dominant team in the tournament so far.

On the other hand, Pakistan's sloppy fielding and inability to contain runs have cost them crucial matches. The Pakistani side has never looked more insipid, and there's practically no chance that they can defeat the Proteas, who've been in marauding form so far.

Team News

Pakistan

  • Pakistan's experiment of playing leggie Usama Mir ahead of Mohammad Nawaz failed, so the team is expected to bring Nawaz back into the playing XI.
  • Fakhar Zaman has a very good record against South Africa in ODIs, and he could make way for Imam-ul-Haq.

South Africa

  • Temba Bavuma is 100% fit and available for selection against Pakistan.
  • Fast bowler Lungi Ngidi missed the game against Bangladesh due to a niggle, but he is set to make a comeback to the playing XI in place of Lizaad Williams.
  • Since spinners, especially left-arm chinaman, get a lot of purchase from the Chepauk wicket, the Proteas will likely include Tabraiz Shamsi in the playing XI.
South Africa Squad

Temba Bavuma (Captain), Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi, Andile Phehlukwayo, Lizaad Williams.

Key Players

Pakistan

  • Babar Azam: The captain scored 74 runs off 92 balls against Afghanistan, but unfortunately that was for a losing cause. Babar Azam has found some form in the past few matches after having a bad start to the tournament, amassing 157 runs in five matches. With his team on the back foot, it is a crucial time for Babar indeed, who will desperately want to get back to winning ways.
  • Mohammad Rizwan: The saviour in the middle order and the leading runscorer for Pakistan in the tournament right now, Rizwan has been in sublime form, amassing 302 runs in five matches. His performance with the bat will have a huge impact on the outcome of the match versus the Proteas.
  • Abdullah Shafique: The 23-year-old has been in phenomenal form and is the most consistent and reliable batsman at the top of the order for Pakistan. He has scored 255 runs in four matches, smashing one hundred and two fifties. Shafique is the second-highest run-getter for his team in the tournament.

South Africa

  • Quinton de Kock: The 30-year-old is in the form of his life. De Kock registered the highest individual score by a batsman (174 runs off 140 balls) in his last outing against Bangladesh. The left-hander has been striking at 114.97, amassing 407 runs in five matches. He is currently the tournament’s leading runscorer by a fair margin and is the key player to watch out for against Pakistan.
  • Heinrich Klaasen: Talk about hitting sixes with ease! Klaasen is having the time of his life in ODI cricket and has grown from strength to strength, scoring 90 runs in the last match against Bangladesh and 109 vs. England in one of South Africa’s earlier games in the tournament. The 32-year-old has put up 288 runs in five matches and is the second-best batsman for the Proteas in the competition after Quinton de Kock.
  • Gerald Coetzee: The most impactful bowler for the Proteas in the tournament, Gerald Coetzee has been on fire with his express pace. He has picked up 10 wickets in four matches at a strike rate of 18.60, filling in for the injured Anrich Nortje perfectly. Pakistan's struggles against raw pace makes Coetzee a key player in the upcoming fixture.
