Pakistan and South Africa will face each other in their do-or-die clash of the 2019 International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup clash at the Lord's in London on Sunday. Both the sides failed to emerge victorious in their previous clash of the mega event. While Pakistan slump to an 89-run defeat at the hands of arch-rivals India who emerged victorious by a margin of 89 runs, South Africa suffered a four-wicket defeat against New Zealand in their last clash of the tournament.
