South Africa and England will lock horns against each other in the 11th game of the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The game is scheduled to take place on Saturday (March 1) at the National Stadium in Karachi.
A win in the upcoming game will ensure a place in the semifinal for South Africa. Even before the semifinal, South Africa could seal a place in the last four even before their game against England if the result of the Afghanistan vs Australia match goes their way.

On the other hand, England are already out of the tournament. They have only pride to play for and will be desperate to bow out of the tournament on a winning note. So, ahead of the game, we are taking a look at the head-to-head record between the two teams.
