England and South Africa will lock horns in the last Group B match of the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi on Saturday.
While South Africa will look to seal a top spot in the standings with a win, England, which has already been knocked out of the competition, can be a party pooper.

Jos Buttler will lead England for one final time in white-ball cricket after announcing on Friday that he was stepping down from captaincy. His team will have to contend with the absence of its pace ace Mark Wood, who suffered a knee injury in the match against Afghanistan. South Africa, on the other hand, will be bolstered by the return of Heinrich Klaasen, who had missed the Proteas’ campaign opener against Afghanistan.
