South Africa will open their batting with their Skipper Temba Bavuma and Ryan Rickelton at the the top. They have superb middle order with the likes of experienced players such as Aiden Markram, Rassie Van Der Dussen, Heinrich Klassen and David Miller in their playing XI.
Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and Lungi Ngidi will be their pace trio for this match with Wiaan Mulder expected to alot in as the all rounder in the playing XI. Keshav Maharaj will be their lead spinner and Tabraiz Shamsi might slot in as second spinner depending on the conditions.
Key players: Kagiso Rabada, Heinrich Klassen, Aiden Markram
Klaasen has been in prolific form, notching up half-centuries in his last four ODI matches. His scores are 87, 81, 97, and 86. He is one of the best spin batters in the South African batting lineup. Given his current form, we expect Klaasen to perform well in today's match and score over 29.5 runs.

Minimal TurnKarachi pitch is one of the slow pitches where the ball might not come into the bat nicely. We expect spinners to play a big role in this match with the old ball.
We back Afghanistan to win the coin toss in the 3rd match of the ICC Champions Trophy between Afghanistan and South Africa.
The pitch at Karachi offers a balanced track and it mostly favours the batters to a greater extent during the second half of the game. The average total match score in the last three games at Karachi is 591 runs. Both teams head into this contest on the back of good batting form and we predict it to be a high scoring game.
Teams will opt to bat first in the pitch as the the pitch becomes tough to bat on as the match progresses.
South Africa has a strong batting line-up with quality batters in top-6 who can make big scores and lead their team easily. They also have a good mix of pace and spin bowlers in the playing XI.Afghanistan also have a good batting line-up with a lot of allrounders. Their bowlers have experience and skills to their advantage off the conditions on offer. We expect South Africa to win in this match.
