The Green Shirts are set to face South Africa in their upcoming match as underdogs, having garnered only four points from their five matches in the tournament.

This positioning stems from their recent performances, with three losses in their last five games. The management is eagerly awaiting a stronger performance from the players in the Friday match.

In the batting lineup, Pakistan heavily leans on the dynamic batsman, Mohammad Rizwan. He stands out as the team's top run-scorer in the tournament, amassing 302 runs at an impressive average of 75.50 and a strike rate of 95.87. His contributions include a century and a half-century.

On the bowling front, left-arm spinner Shaheen Afridi tops the chart in the tournament, claiming 10 wickets at a respectable average of 25.10.

Aiden Markram is optimistic about maintaining their winning streak in the upcoming match. South Africa recently clinched a dominant 149-run victory over Bangladesh in Mumbai.

Following emphatic victories against England and Bangladesh, South Africa holds the second spot in the standings with 8 points from their five matches.

The team management is hopeful that the players will shine both with the bat and ball, aiming to solidify South Africa's position for the competition's playoffs.

In this World Cup, the Proteas boast a commendable bowling squad. Kagiso Rabada is at the forefront with 10 wickets, boasting an exceptional average of 21.90. He's complemented by newcomer Marco Jansen, who also has 10 wickets at an average of 24.70 and a commendable economy rate of 6.50.

Regarding batting, the team has primarily depended on Quinton de Kock, Rassie Van Der Dussen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, and Heinrich Klaasen to rack up substantial scores.
