Temba Bavuma at the toss:

“We would have batted first as well, looks a bit dry, but there is some green. Batting first is an advantage, but we need to keep them down to a low score and then chase well. We have a great bunch of guys and have derived a lot of support and confidence from them. Two changes for us – one is a forced one with Miller missing out with an injury, Klaasen replaces him. Shamsi is in, he replaces Keshav Maharaj”

Babar Azam at the toss:

“We will bat. Put runs on the board and then place them under pressure in the chase. We will try and give our best and then move forward. One change for us – Fakhar misses out, Haris is in”

Pakistan playing XI:

Mohammad Rizwan(w), Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Haris, Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah

South Africa playing XI:

Quinton de Kock(w), Temba Bavuma(c), Rilee Rossouw, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, Tristan Stubbs, Wayne Parnell, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Tabraiz Shamsi

2 Changes for South African line up, Miller out with injury

South Africa have made 2 changes to their playing XI

1) Heinrich Klaasen replaces David Miller

2) Tabraiz Shamsi replaces Keshav Maharaj

1 change for Pakistan; Mohammad Haris comes in for Fakhar Zaman

Fakhar Zaman has been ruled out the match against South Africa due to a knee injury. Mohammad Haris comes in as the replacement for Fakhar.

The big question remains will Pakistan separate Babar and Rizwan at the top of the order.

Pakistan win the toss and decide to bat first

Pakistan win the toss and decide to bat first. South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma says he would have chosen to bat first as well.

Road to Semi-finals difficult for Pakistan

Pakistan currently have 2 points from their 3 matches in the T20 World Cup so far. They will need to need to get to 6 points and hope that India lose their last match against Zimbabwe by 8 or more runs. They can also qualify if South Africa does not get more than 1 point from their last encounter against the Netherlands.

History favours Pakistan

Pakistan has a clear advantage in terms of the history between the two. Pakistan recently defeated South Africa in T20s, winning both of their meetings in 2021 (at home and away). Pakistan has always won against South Africa in T20 World Cups even though it’s been ten years since they last competed.

SCG – a batting paradise

The surface of the Sydney Cricket Ground often gives batsmen a decent chance to make some quick runs. The pitch might not benefit the pacers much in the early innings, but the spinners might be optimistic about their chances in the middle overs. Chasing would be the best strategy for winning the toss on this surface.

Sydney is expected to experience an average temperature of 18°C, 39% humidity and a wind speed of 21 km/h on November 3. The game is not anticipated to be affected by rain.
