Summary South Africa has won the toss against Pakistan in ICC Champions Trophy 2017 match and will bat first

BIRMINGHAM (Dunya News) - South Africa has won the toss against Pakistan in ICC Champions Trophy 2017 match and they will bat first. The two sides will go head to head in Egbaston where the weather is ice and bright.

Upon losing the toss, Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed said, "We would have liked to bat too. Two changes, Wahab and Shehzad not playing. Fakhar and Junaid came. Morale is high."

South Africa skipper AB de Villiers commented, "We batted pretty well in the last game. A couple of games played on this pitch. May break up a bit more. Had good intensity for 80% of the game, if we could get that to 100%, we ll be a good team."

Fakhar Zaman will be making his debut. He was given the cap by Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik.
