Key players:

Temba Bavuma: South African skipper Temba Bavuma will be looking to continue his great form in ODIs in recent times in the upcoming match against England. Bavuma could play a crucial role in the South African middle-order and will be looking to score big.

Kagiso Rabada: Ace South African pacer Kagiso Rababa has shown great form in the last game and has to deliver again for South Africa to confirm their place in the semi-finals. Rabada's role will be crucial in the starting 10 overs of the match for the Proteas.

Harry Brook: Harry Brook hasn’t looked in great touch in the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025 which is also a main reason for England to get knocked out as they couldn't get a strong middle-order. Now, Brook will be looking to end his disappointing campaign with a big knock against South Africa.

Jofra Archer: Fast bowler Jofra Archer is currently England’s leading wicket-taker in the ongoing Champions Trophy and also ended up taking three wickets in the last game against Afghanistan. Archer’s role will be crucial if England look to defeat South Africa in their last league game.
