Pakistan are failing in the field, dropping catches that are costing them. They are against another high-scoring side and really need to get themselves together if they are to challenge the top four.

South Africa though are a solid side. Their players know their roles to the core and are delivering explosively. The batting line-up is well covered and the majority of their key batters are really good against spin. Bowling too they have variety with Gerald Coetzee stepping up in the absence of Anrich Nortje.

PAK vs SA Key Players

Henrich Klaasan

Henrich Klaasan has easily been one of the most devastating players in the tournament. He is one of the main reasons for their turnaround from the last World Cup and has looked very good against spin. On a track that supports spin, he will be key.

Shaheen Shah Afridi

Shaheen Shah has been one of if not the only Pakistan player who has looked consistently threatening. With their tournament on the line a massive burden falls on him and he will have to deliver to keep his side in the hunt.

PAK vs SA Match Tips

South Africa are in really good form and come in as solid favorites for the upcoming game. Pakistan though tend to step up when their backs are against the wall and could well spring a surprise if they manage to hold their catches.
