AUCKLAND: Rains may affect Pakistan’s crucial match against South Africa in Auckland, as New Zealand’s Met Service has predicted heavy downpours on Saturday’s afternoon.
If the predicted rains washed out the match, Pakistan will be glad to get a much need point which will help it advance in the quarter final.
There’s been only one washout in the tournament so far, the match between four-time champion Australia and Bangladesh in Brisbane. But as the World Cup progresses into the Southern Hemisphere autumn, it could become more of a concern.
Pakistan’s form has been far less assured. After losing their first two games against India and the West Indies, the 1992 champions have got their campaign back on track with wins over Zimbabwe and the United Arab Emirates.
South Africa coach Russell Domingo said his squad needs to be ready for anything against Pakistan. “We know that they can beat anybody on their day,” he said.
