Champions Trophy 2025: England vs South Africa, Match 11 - Top 3 player battles to watch out for
England became the first team from Group B to be eliminated from the Champions Trophy 2025.
1. Joe Root vs Kagiso Rabada
One of the most watched out player battle will be between star batter Joe Root and fiery pacer Kagiso Rabada. Root, fresh off a heartbreaking century against Afghanistan, will be looking to continue his fine form. However, he will look to tackle the challenge against Rabada.
In ODIs, Root has scored 53 runs off 85 balls against Rabada, falling to him once. His average against the pacer is 53, and his strike rate of 62.35 shows that he has struggled to dominate. The right-hand batter is England's best batter in the competition with 188 runs in two games, while the speedster in the game against Afghanistan bagged three wickets and handed his team a comfortable win.
