The group stage affiliation of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is nearing completion, with the final Group B match between South Africa and England taking place on Saturday at the National Stadium, Karachi. South Africa leads the table in Group B with a total of three points from two matches, along with an impressive net run rate.
Their attempt to knock out England, who are already out of the tournament after losing both their matches, will bring a definite end to South Africa’s aspirations of winning the group.
South Africa’s preceding game with Australia was a rain-affected game. They had won a game against Afghanistan earlier by 107 runs. England’s hopes were dashed after losing eight runs, thanks to an earlier century from Joe Root.
Jofra Archer captured 3 for 64 as England bowled out before they made 317 runs. This match between Afghanistan and Australia will have ramifications for South Africa regarding their semifinal place.
