England (ENG) and South Africa (SA) are all set to renew their rivalry in the first T20I of the three-match series, starting Wednesday, September 10, at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. The two sides recently battled in a hard-fought ODI series, where South Africa emerged victorious with a 2-1 triumph. With the limited-overs momentum on their side, the visitors will aim to continue their dominance, while the hosts will be determined to bounce back strongly in the shortest format in front of their home fans.

England will take confidence from their previous T20I series at home, where they registered a commanding 3-0 clean sweep over Sri Lanka. The Jos Buttler-led side boasts plenty of firepower in both batting and bowling departments and will be eager to kick-start the series with a win. On the other hand, South Africa arrive in Cardiff after losing their recent T20I series against Australia 2-1 and will hope to rectify their mistakes.
