The pitch at National Stadium in Karachi is a good batting deck as the ball comes onto the bat nicely, as we saw during the South Africa- Afghanistan clash where the proteas easily crossed the 300-run mark. The team winning the toss will look to bat first.
The weather in Karachi is good for playing Cricket. The temperatures will hover around 28°C, as there are no chances of rain on the matchday.
Both teams have a tight record against each other in the ODI format & in the Champions Trophy too both teams have a 2-2 record. But based on current form South Africa starts as favorites.
