PAK-C vs SA-C: Pitch Report
The pitch at Edgbaston is pretty handy for batting. It is a batting-first wicket, which turns slower as the game progresses. The chase will be difficult as the ball might stick to the surface more, producing an uneven bounce. We might see the score around 165-170 at this venue. In the final, the chase is always difficult because of the pressure. Hence, batting first can be an ideal decision here.

PAK-C vs SA-C: Dream11 Team
· Wicket-keepers: Kamran Akmal (Vice Captain), Morne van Wyk
· Batters: AB de Villiers (Captain)
· All-rounders: J Smuts. JP Duminy, Wayne Parnell, Aamer Yamin, Mohamamd Hafeeez, Shoaib Malik
· Bowlers: Saeed Ajmal, Aaron Phangiso
Dream11 Prediction: Pakistan Champions have been in incredible form because of the quality of players they have got. Some of their players are still active, which gives them a fair chance. For South Africa, it is very important that AB de Villiers scores run. He failed in the semis, and they struggled as a team.
If Pakistan can somehow dismiss De Villiers, as they did in the league stage, Pakistan Champions have a great chance. But despite all that, South Africa Champions are slightly weaker in their bowling, and dependency on De Villiers can hurt them. We believe Pakistan Champions will win here.
