The stage is set for the epic clash between England and South Africa in the Champions Trophy 2025. England have crashed out of the tournment and South Africa do have a foot in the semis, barring a huge collapse in the upcoming match. The game will take place at the iconic National Stadium in Karachi.
South Africa started the tournament on a winning note as they thrashed Afghanistan in a one-sided contest. Their next match Vs Australia was washed out due to rain, and with Australia Vs Afghanistan getting abandoned last night, all the Proteas have to do is make sure that they do not lose the match by a margin in excess of 200 runs.
For the last few days, the weather in Pakistan is not looking promising with several games getting washed out. The upcoming clash could determine where the Proteas finish on the points table, but will the match be marred with rain?.
Karachi Stadium weather update
As per Accuweather, the average temperature on Saturday will be 26 degrees in Karachi and it will be pleasant throughout the day. Unlike Lahore and Rawalpindi, there will be no rain today and the match will go as per the schedule and we can finally expect a complete game.
The wind speed will be 9 km/h, but the best part is that it will be sunny and the players will find it easy to play on a relatively breezy day. Hence, no chance of rain and the match will be a complete contest.
If South Africa lose by a big margin, (less than 200-runs), they could end the group stage at number 2 spot, however, if they win, they'll top the table.
