South Africa are raring to make it into the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 semi-finals as they are to face Pakistan in their second match of Group B. South Africa are in high spirits having beaten Sri Lanka by a big margin in their first game. A win against Pakistan will seal their berth in the semi-finals. On the other hand, Pakistan suffered a massive defeat against India in the much-awaited clash. They were outclassed in every department of the game in a rain-curtailed match.
But, now Pakistan have a chance to make amends for their poor show against India and redeem themselves in ICC Champions Trophy 2017. Injured Wahab Riaz has been ruled out of the tournament after he suffered an injury against India. He has been replaced by youngster Rumman Raees in the side.
South African opener Hashim Amla is in a splendid form and will be a key player in tonight’s clash. Their skipper AB de Villiers too would look to make the full use of Edgbaston pitch.

Pitch Report:
The Edgbaston pitch is a batting paradise as Pakistan witnessed in the previous game having hammered by Indian batsmen. Pakistan batsmen need to take their strike rate up a notch as a big score is expected in today’s game as well. The captain winning the toss will look to bat first and put on a big score and furthermore put the pressure on the opposition.
