PAK vs SA Preview: 

• Babar Azam, known for his impressive ODI batting average of 56.79 and having amassed over 5500 runs in 110 innings, stands as one of the most reliable batters in international cricket. Despite a recent struggle with form, he enters the upcoming match against a formidable South African bowling attack with the aim to build on his recent performance, which yielded 142 runs in his last three innings. As the right-handed captain, he is our top choice to be Pakistan’s leading run-scorer against South Africa.
• On the bowling front, Shaheen Shah Afridi has maintained a perfect record in the tournament, having secured 8 wickets in his last three matches, including a remarkable 5-wicket haul against Australia in Bengaluru. The left-arm pace bowler presents a strong case for being Pakistan’s highest wicket-taker in this upcoming match.
• Meanwhile, Quinton de Kock has been a standout performer for South Africa in the 2023 Cricket World Cup, boasting three centuries in just five innings. His exceptional 174-run knock against Bangladesh, which included 22 fours and seven sixes, earned him the Player of the Match Award. With his experience and proficiency, he is our pick for South Africa’s top run-scorer against Pakistan.
• In the realm of consistent wicket-taking, Marco Jansen has emerged as the go-to player for South Africa. He has delivered a 2-wicket haul in each of the last five matches, solidifying his status as the prime candidate for South Africa’s leading wicket-taker in the forthcoming game.
• Quinton de Kock’s remarkable form suggests he is poised to continue his scoring streak, and we recommend selecting him to surpass 31.5 runs in the upcoming match.

Weather & Pitch Report: 

Weather: ⛅

Pitch Report:

The MA Chidambaram Stadium has witnessed several closely contested matches in the tournament. Anticipate a pitch favoring the batsmen, which is likely to become even more conducive to batting during the second innings of the game.

Toss Prediction: 

In this year’s 2023 Cricket World Cup, three out of the four matches played at this venue have been clinched by the team batting second. Consequently, it is highly likely that both captains will opt to field first should they win the toss.

PAK vs SA Team NEWS: 

PAK Team News: 

The vice-captain, Shadab Khan, made a return to the Pakistan team in the match against Afghanistan earlier this week, with Mohammad Nawaz stepping out. Given the team’s recent poor performance, there are likely to be suggestions for alterations, either in the team composition or in the batting order.

SA Team News: 

Despite their last match occurring just three days after the hot and humid victory over England, a contest in which players from both sides grappled with the challenging conditions, South Africa made only a single alteration to their lineup. Lungi Ngidi was replaced by Lizaad Williams.

Predicted Playing11: 

Winning Chances: 

A victory for Pakistan in this match would bring them level on points with Australia, securing the fourth position, and it would serve as a significant confidence boost for their players, staff, and supporters following a series of recent setbacks. However, despite Pakistan’s pool of talented players, they are likely to face a formidable challenge in keeping pace with South Africa in this ODI on Friday. With standout performances from players such as Gerald Coetzee, Quinton de Kock, Heinrich Klaaen, and Marco Jansen, all operating at an exceptionally high level, our forecast leans towards another triumph for South Africa.
