Pitch Report – National Stadium, Karachi
- Two matches have been played here so far in this tournament, and both followed a similar pattern:
- Teams batting first scored over 300 runs.
- The pitch slowed down in the second innings, making chasing very difficult.
- In both games, the team batting second lost by big margins.
This means batting first is a big advantage, while bowlers could dominate in the second half of the game.
Dream11 Captaincy Pick – Ryan Rickelton
- Ryan Rickelton, South Africa’s opener and wicketkeeper, is a great captaincy choice for this match.
- He is in outstanding form, having scored his first ODI century in South Africa’s opening game against Afghanistan.
- He was also one of the top performers in the SA20 tournament, finishing as the fourth-highest run-scorer with an average of 48 and a strike rate of 178.
Players to Watch Out For
1️⃣ Ryan Rickelton – In red-hot form and a key player for South Africa.
2️⃣ Marco Jansen – A valuable all-rounder who can make an impact with both bat and ball.
3️⃣ Joe Root – England’s most reliable batsman, capable of playing a big knock.
