South Africa

Heinrich Klaasen has been in excellent form, and Marco Jansen’s bowling will be key to their chances. South Africa will need more consistent batting from players like Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen to challenge Pakistan.

Pakistan

Pakistan, after losing the T20I series, has bounced back strongly in the ODI format. They sealed the series with a commanding 81-run win in the second ODI.
