Malik could've played his last ODI
Shoaib Malik has been going through a rough patch with the bat, and Pakistan captain will likely look past him in this do or die match.
Haris Sohail, who has been sitting in the sidelines is likely to replace Malik in the XI for this match.
Hasan Ali has been bowling poorly in this tournament as well. Shaheen Afridi or Mohammad Hasnain will get an opportunity. Another change could be that of Asif Ali coming into the team in place of Imad Wasim.
Proteas pace attack up for the Lord's challenge
Even though the Proteas haven't looked like a force to reckon with in this tournament so far, there is much they can really change about their XI. Considering their bench strength, we can say that they will field the same set of players even for this match.
The Lord's pitch is suitable for batting generally as it is just the start of the season, we can say there will be some assistance for the bowlers from this wicket.
Time is running out for both South Africa and Pakistan. Will Sarfaraz Ahmed's boys regroup to put up an inspirational show against the Faf's fantastic XI? Watch #PAKvSA LIVE on Hotstar.

There will be some swing on offer early on in the match with the new ball.
There shouldn't be any hindrance by rain as the forecast predicts a bright and sunny day in London.
