The final Group B match will be interesting indeed. South Africa could have already qualified for the semi-finals if Australia beat Afghanistan in their final group match on Friday.

It may mean that the Proteas could want to experiment with their lineup, but probably not. Instead, Klaasen will come in, in the middle order.

With Ryan Rickelton having scored a century against Afghanistan in their first Champions Trophy outing, opening partner Tony de Zorzi will likely miss out. Skipper Temba Bavuma will then move up one spot from his number three position.

It then leaves Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, David Miller and Klaasen in the middle order.

While South Africa do possess a strong bowling lineup with Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and Keshav Maharaj at their disposal, there’s no disputing that all the bowlers could continue to struggle on the flat pitches at the tournament.
