Key Players

Tristin Stubbs

Tristin Stubbs is in good form with the bat for sure and is the potential future for South Africa. His spot though still has some competition from Rassie Van Der Dussen and that healthy competition could continue to fuel him forward.

Haris Rauf

ODIs have been a happy space for Haris Rauf. He was incredible in the Australia ODIs and loves playing on fast tracks. Boland Park hence could suit him well.

SA vs PAK Match Tips

Both sides are full strength and ODIs are a format both can be pretty strong in. With home advantage though South Africa will start favorites.
