Pakistan will be hoping for a much-improved performance in their second match of the ICC Champions Trophy when they take on South Africa. Pakistan were nothing short of woeful in their 124-run drubbing against bitter rivals India and will need to buck up their ideas in all areas if they are to stay in the tournament for any duration of time. South Africa meanwhile will be the much happier of the two sides after a dominant win against Sri Lanka in their first match. The Proteas are the number one ranked side in the world right now and despite a series loss to England in the buildup to the tournament, they will be quietly confident about making serene progress into the semifinals of the competition.

Pakistan vs South Africa prediction

Unless Pakistan make a monumental improvement on their last match, it is hard to see them getting any sort of positive result against the Proteas who are looking good early in the tournament. One thing on their side is the never say die attitude they seem to bring to these major competitions and knowing that defeat sees them out of the tournament might propel them to play a bit of no-fear cricket. South Africa know that victory sees them through to the semi-final and will want to play with the confidence that saw them dominate Sri Lanka in their opening match.

• AB de Villiers to be South Africa’s best batsman – 4.33
• Mohammed Hafeez to be Pakistan’s best batsman – 5.50
• Pakistan to hit the most team sixes - 2.62
