Watch Pakistan Vs. South Africa Cricket Live Stream: 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup, Start Time, Preview
Two teams who have struggled in the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup, with just one win each, find themselves playing for survival on Sunday. No matter who wins, Pakistan or South Africa, the climb into the top four and advancement to the semifinals will be difficult, to say the least. For Pakistan, being one of three teams in the current World Cup who have yet to field the same 11 two games in a row, according to CricBuzz, has made it nearly impossible to establish consistency in their play. As for South Africa, their tournament never recovered after losing their star fast bowler Dale Steyn to injury before the World Cup even began. But each team gets one more chance to keep their hopes alive in the match that will live stream from Lord’s.

Neither team has accomplished much with the bat to this point in the Cricket World Cup. Pakistan have not placed a single batsman in the tournament’s table of top 20 run producers, while South Africa have only wicketkeeper Quenton de Kock, in 17th place with 191, per CricBuzz stats. Australia’s David Warner leads all batsmen with 447.
The weather forecast looks good for Lord’s, according to the ICC, which says that “humidity and dryness through the day” is likely to aid the spin bowlers in the second innings.
