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

1⃣ Ryan Rickelton – In red-hot form and a key player for South Africa.
2⃣ Marco Jansen – A valuable all-rounder who can make an impact with both bat and ball.
3⃣ Joe Root – England’s most reliable batsman, capable of playing a big knock.
