Too early to say anything. Pakistan got the initial advantage, when they won the toss and then decided to bat first. A lot will depend on how long Babar Azam stays out there. After these two, it is the allrounders and then the bowlers. Both the top-runs corers for Pakistan are out now (Mohammad Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique). Babar was in poor form until now, and it needs to be seen whether he will be able to rescue Pakistan today. So far both of them are looking somewhat comfortable against the spinners. But what will happen once Jansen and Coetzee are re-introduced?
Pakistan team throughout the tournament failed to attack the opponent and this is exactly happening in today's game also. After 25 overs Pakistan going with 5 run per over. With this scoring rate Pakistan will only be able to give a target of 270 or 300 maximum. Seeing the bowling form of Pakistani bowlers 300 won't be a safe target. Pakistan already lost 4 wickets and there chances of scoring 300 are now very slim.
At the moment, Pakistan has collected 134 runs in 26 overs with the loss of 4 wickets. Pakistan must win the next four matches including today's match to qualify for the semi-finals. It is doubtful whether Pakistan will win against South Africa today. If Pakistan loses today against South Africa then Pakistan's dreams of the next round will be shattered. They are under a lot of pressure now with Pakistan losing four wickets. I think it will not be possible for them to overcome this pressure and score 300 runs. Pakistan will not be able to win today's match if South Africa cannot throw a big target of 350+ runs. Do you think Pakistan can beat South Africa and win today?
