Pakistan and South Africa will clash in a very crucial game of Group 2. Pakistan lost to India and Zimbabwe in their first two games before beating the Netherlands in their last game. The game against South Africa is a must-win for them as a loss will end their campaign.
Meanwhile, South Africa are still undefeated in the tournament. They defeated India in the last game. If they beat Pakistan as well, they will cement their place in the semis.
The wickets in this T20 World Cup have been bowling-friendly and given that both teams have a fearsome bowling attack, the coming game could be a low-scoring affair.
The weather conditions will be pleasant as it will be bright and sunny in Sydney. The temperature will also range around 20 degrees, which will make the players very comfortable.

Mohammad Rizwan has been below par in the tournament so far but he is Pakistan's one of the best batters and if the Men in Green have to beat South Africa, he will have to play a big role.
South Africa boast of a quality pace attack thus Pakistan will need their best batters to raise their hand and help the team set up a win. Babar Azam, despite his poor form, is the best Pakistan batter and Pakistan's biggest hope against a lethal Proteas attack.
Rilee Rossouw has been in staggering form in T20Is. The batter has hit two centuries in the last five innings and will be eyeing another decent show against Pakistan.
David Miller played a match-winning inning of 59 against India. Miller has been in staggering form in T20Is of late and will be a key player for South Africa against Pakistan.
Kagiso Rabada has bowled well in the tournament but he has not many wickets to his name. However, given the vulnerable Pakistan batting, Rabada can run through their batting lineup and bag some much deserved wickets.
