Champions Trophy - Pakistan vs South Africa at Chandigarh
Pretty simple outcome here. The winner will play in the semi-finals, the loser is out. A lot to play for in this game, both teams will be very keen to continue into the latter stages of the tournament. Pakistan have played alright so far with a few of their higher-profile players out of the tournament. South Africa have looked scratchy and this game will certainly test them out.
With both team having a lot to play for, this game is set to be a close one.
