Pakistan and South Africa will play in Match 3 of the tri-series on Wednesday at Karachi’s National Stadium. Both teams are eager to win and secure their spot in the final since New Zealand has already advanced by beating both teams easily.
Pakistan, led by Mohammad Rizwan, didn’t have a great start to their campaign. They lost to New Zealand by 78 runs in their first match. Fakhar Zaman made a strong comeback, scoring 84 runs off 69 balls, but Pakistan still got all out for 252 runs while trying to chase a target of 331.
Bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi got two wickets early on but struggled in the final overs. Abrar Ahmed, Pakistan’s only specialist spinner, also took two wickets. Unfortunately, Haris Rauf will miss the match against South Africa due to a chest injury.
South Africa, under Temba Bavuma, is looking to bounce back after losing to New Zealand by six wickets. Matthew Breetzke had an amazing debut, scoring 150 runs, but it wasn’t enough as Kane Williamson’s unbeaten 133 led New Zealand to victory.
Both Pakistan and South Africa are desperate to win this match to boost their confidence before the Champions Trophy, which starts on February 19.
