Champions Trophy 2025: Match 11, SA vs ENG Match Prediction – Who will win today’s Champions Trophy match between SA vs ENG?

South Africa (SA) take on England (ENG) in match No. 11 of the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025 at the National Stadium in Karachi on Saturday, March 1.

The Proteas started their campaign with a comprehensive 107-run win against Afghanistan in Karachi before their second game against Australia was abandoned due to rain. Meanwhile, England have already been knocked out of the competition after suffering consecutive defeats to Australia and Afghanistan.

South Africa have three points from two matches. Australia and Afghanistan have an important match on Friday where the winning team will make it to the semifinals. If the game ends without a result, Australia will go through. If the Afghans lose to the Aussies, South Africa will automatically progress to the knockouts.

If the Afghanistan versus Australia game ends without a result, South Africa will still go through unless they suffer a very heavy defeat against the Three Lions. However, if Afghanistan can beat the Aussies, South Africa will have to win against England.

SA vs ENG Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Aiden Markram

Aiden Markam looked in ominous touch in the game against Afghanistan. He came out to bat at No. 5 and smashed an unbeaten 52 off 36 balls with the help of six fours and one six. Markram can play the anchor's role and also accelarate when required. This makes him a key asset for the Proteas.
