SA vs ENG: South Africa will take on England in match number 11 of the 2025 Champions Trophy at the National Stadium in Karachi on Saturday, March 1. This will be the last match in Group B of the ICC event. While England have been knocked out of the tournament, the Proteas have all but qualified for the semifinals.

South Africa will have to lose really badly to England for them to finish below Afghanistan in the points table in Group B. For Afghanistan to qualify for the semifinals of the 2025 Champions Trophy, England need to beat South Africa by at least 207 runs if they bat first. If they bat second, England will have to chase down the target inside 11.1 overs (assuming team batting first scores 300).

South Africa registered a thumping 107-run win in their first match against Afghanistan in Karachi. Ryan Rickelton starred with 103 off 106 as the Proteas scored 315-6 batting first. Kagiso Rabada then claimed three scalps as Afghanistan were bowled out for 208. For England, Jos Buttler would like to sign off from captaincy on a winning note.
