Champions Trophy 2025: South Africa vs England – Stats Preview

South Africa will square off against England in the ongoing Champions Trophy at the National Stadium, Karachi on Saturday. South Africa will qualify for the semifinals if Australia defeats Afghanistan. However, if the Aussies lose, South Africa will have to defeat England or at least make sure that their net run rate stays above that of Australia.

England, on the other hand, was knocked out of the Champions Trophy 2025 after losing their match against Afghanistan. The Three Lions have been poor with both bat and ball and they will look to finish the tournament on a high with some pride.

Meanwhile, South Africa has a balanced team and they certainly have it in them to go all the way in the tournament.

Stats Preview:

Phil Salt needs 20 runs to reach the 1000-run mark in ODIs.

Liam Livingstone needs 77 runs to complete 1000 runs in ODI cricket.

Joe Root needs six fours to complete 550 boundaries in the ODI format.

David Miller needs 11 sixes to complete 150 maximums in ODIs.

Rassie van der Dussen needs four fours and five sixes to complete 200 boundaries and 50 maximums respectively in ODIs.

Heinrich Klaasen needs 11 fours to complete 200 boundaries in ODIs.

Lungi Ngidi needs one wicket to reach 100 scalps in the ODI format.

South Africa: Temba Bavuma (c), Tony de Zorzi, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Wiaan Mulder, Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickelton, Tabraiz Shamsi, Tristan Stubbs, Rassie van der Dussen, Corbin Bosch.

England: Jos Buttler (c), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Tom Banton, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Ben Duckett, Jamie Overton, Jamie Smith, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Saqib Mahmood, Phil Salt, Mark Wood.
