South Africa vs England, Champions Trophy 2025: Squad, Weather, Pitch Report, Playing XI Prediction

ENG vs SA Champions Trophy 2025 Match Schedule, Live Streaming, Date, Head to Head, Playing XI Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather: A determined South Africa will take on a deflated England in the last Group B game of the Champions Trophy on Saturday. Following a stupendous mauling of Afghanan in their tournament opener in Karachi, South Africa earned one point from their washout against Australia, holding them afloat in the quest for the knockouts.
A win will propel Temba Bavuma’s side to the semi-finals, joining the winner of the Australia-Afghanan contest in the last four. The team will also be buoyed the potential return of the hard-hitting Heinrich Klaasen who will bolster the middle-order firepower. Meanwhile, with harrowing defeats to Australia and Afghanan knocking them out of the competition, England will have plenty of questions to answer in the batting and bowling departments, irrespective of the dead-rubber nature for them in this tie.
With Jos Buttler’s future as captain on the line, England’s star white-ball batter will hope to make a significant contribution with the blade before heading back to home to contemplate further on the leadership role.
