Champions Trophy 2025 Match 11 Preview
South Africa face England in a crucial Group B encounter of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at the National Stadium, Karachi. This match is a must-win for the Proteas as they look to secure their place in the semi-finals. With Australia already qualifying and Afghanistan still in contention, South Africa cannot afford any slip-ups.
England, on the other hand, have already been eliminated after back-to-back defeats. Their campaign has been disappointing, and they will be playing for pride. Jos Buttler and his side will look to end on a high note, while South Africa will aim to make the most of this opportunity to progress further in the tournament.
A victory for South Africa will take them to five points, confirming their place in the next stage. However, a loss could open the door for Afghanistan, depending on net run rate scenarios.
