South Africa will play their fourth Super 12 encounter against Pakistan in Sydney on Thursday. This game holds paramount importance for both teams, as a win here will significantly boost their Semifinal chances. 

Ahead of this crucial clash, swashbuckling South Africa batter David Miller has revealed their strategy to neutralise Pakistan. In the pre-match presser, Miller stated that they would valiantly try to dismantle the Pakistani top order quickly, thereby pressurising their middle order. 

He also anticipated Pakistan to come at them with all guns blazing, expecting his team to give them a run for their money. 

Here's what Miller stated

"It's by all means not just going in there and expecting to get them out first ball or early up. We've got to work really hard for every wicket, and hopefully we can get them early and put the Pakistan middle order under pressure a little bit earlier than later,

"Pakistan are a great team, and they've got some serious match winners, but, we've just got to take it as it comes, and definitely the boys are up for it."

While South Africa have been clinical in the tournament, Pakistan suffered two narrow defeats upfront, which jolted their semifinal hopes. So, Babar Azam and co have all to play for when they clash with the Proteas at the iconic SCG on Thursday.
