An important match of the T20 World Cup will be played between Pakistan and South Africa at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) today. According to Indian time, the match will start at 1.30 pm. Bad news came for Pakistan before the match.
Batter Fakhar Zaman, who played at his number 3, was out of this match. In this tournament, Fakhar has played only one match against the Netherlands so far.
South Africa, on the other hand, will come with all their might and try to keep themselves at the top of Group 2 in the race for the semi-finals. Temba Babuma’s team is in high spirits after defeating India in a close contest.
Babar’s team is under pressure
The Pakistani team is under tremendous pressure at the moment. His way to the semi-finals is almost closed. If India had won the last match against South Africa, Pakistan’s hopes would have been more alive. Babar’s team has a world-class bowling attack, but the batting lineup could not do much. He had to face defeat against India and Zimbabwe.
South Africa would only like to win
South Africa is currently the topper in the points table of Group 2. After this comes India’s number. The African team has not lost any match in this tournament so far. He will maintain this momentum and would like to cement the semis ticket by winning against Pakistan. After Pakistan, this team also has to field against the Netherlands.

South Africa: Temba Bavuma (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Riley Russo, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Wayne Parnell, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Enrique Nortya, Lungi Ngidi.
