South Africa and Pakistan are all set to face each other at Edgbaston this Wednesday. South Africa will be going into this game with a lot of confidence after thrashing the Sri Lankans by 96 runs in their first game. For Pakistan, it is a must win after losing to arch-rivals India on Sunday.
South Africa are the firm favourites to win this encounter without a shadow of a doubt but Pakistan is well known for his unpredictability.
The Proteas know that better than anyone else. After getting hammered by India & West Indies in the World Cup 2015, Pakistan came back strongly and stunned them at Auckland. A win for South Africa here would take them ever so close to a spot in the semi-finals and will put Pakistan on the edge of getting knocked out.
Here are the five tactics South Africa must use to beat Pakistan.
