AUS vs SA Preview
Since the Group B of ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is considered the Group of Death, every match counts as a must-win. Australia and South Africa will face off each other and will be desperate for a win in this tournament to secure a spot in the semi-finals.
Both sides have had their issues. South Africa have got a poor run of form recently, while Australia are short of their major experienced players. The track at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium will be lightning quick as usual and both sides have got good strikers to the ball in their batting line. Hence, we can expect that this match will be a high-scoring one, possibly with South Africa starting as favorites.
South Africa are favorites because the fact that they have got a very good pace attack. South Africa have got Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi and Marco Janssen who can prove to be very effective on this track, because slight rain is also predicted on 25th February 2025 in Rawalpindi.
Moreover, South Africa is one of those rare teams who have got a better head to head record against Australia in ODIs, hence they have a psychological edge, especially against a weaker Aussie side. However, both sides have never clashed in Champions Trophy history.

Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium Records
Only 26 ODIs have been played at the Rawalpindi cricket stadium. Ever since the resumption of cricket in Pakistan, Rawalpindi has seen some massive scores in ODIs and PSL matches. Australia has played only one ODI at this venue till date, and they lost that too. South Africa on the other hand have won 5 out of their 6 ODIs at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Players to Watch-Out For
| Players | Team | Role | Recent Form |
| Travis Head | Australia | Batting all-rounder | Excellent |
| Jake Fraser-McGurk | Australia | Batter | Poor |
| Kagiso Rabada | South Africa | Pace Bowler | Decent |
| Heinrich Klaasen | South Africa | WK Batter | Excellent |
Despite his poor form, Jake Fraser-McGurk can redeem himself here. Rawalpindi is the ideal track for batters like him where ball comes on to the bat nicely. If given a chance, his poor form can get transformed into brilliant form. Travis Head will also have a lot of eyeballs on him due to his freestyle run scoring approach.
Klaasen’s recent form has shown how excellent of a batter he is. Rabada on the other hand is important because of the cloudy conditions. Rabada’s initial spell will be very crucial on this track for the South African side.
