Match Preview
Pakistan
- To say that Pakistan is an unpredictable side is a cliche, but it is well deserved. They collapsed in a heap and they may rise back immediate too.
- Pakistan also has a very good batting line-up.
- The only major weakness that we see with this Pakistan team is the likelihood of losing early wickets during their attack on the bowling in the first two powerplay’s.

South Africa
- It is stunning to see the speed at which South Africa’s ICC World Cup 2019 campaigns seems to be disintegrating.
- It is not going to be easy. Forget the fact that South Africa has not done well in must-win matches in the past, injuries to their leading fast bowlers have put them in a difficult place.
- The South Africans have no option but to fight and maybe this clarity of purpose will help them find their way.
