Pakistan led by Babar Azam head into the match on the back of three successive defeats, while Aiden Markram-led South Africa, have lost just once in their five outings at the show-piece tournament.

In the most recent outing, Pakistan suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Afghanistan, who rode on a brilliant opening stand to seal an 8-wicket win in the run-chase of 283 in Chennai.

South Africa, on the other hand, rode on Quinton de Kock’s 174 and Heinrich Klaassen’s 90 before bundling out Bangladesh for 233 in their run chase of 383 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

The two sides, who have met over 80 times in ODI cricket, last met in the format in a three-match series in 2021 in South Africa, where Pakistan won the series 2-1. They have never met in Chennai, but have faced different teams at the venue.
