The likes of Imam-ul-Haq, Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed are yet to come good in the ongoing tournament. With so many players in poor form, it is obvious that Pakistan on paper have no chance against a strong South African side. Moreover, from a mental perspective, it won’t be easy for the Babar Azam led team to register a comeback after losing to India and Afghanistan. The morale is certainly down and there seems little or no chance that men in green will be able to impress again in the ICC event.

South Africa on the other hand is one team that has a history of chocking in big events. Pakistan has had good success against them during the last few ICC events and hence, there is no doubt that the national team can upset the Proteas once more.
