England vs South Africa: England are back on the field after a loss in the previous ODI against India. Their new reign under Jos Buttler is off to a tough start as they face South Africa soon. The South African side as well are coming back after a series loss at home against Bangladesh in their recent ODI series. They aren’t a side that relies on star power and focuses more on building a side with a lot of silent talent.

Key Players

Reece Topley

Without Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, Reece Topley is stepping up and putting his hand up well for a spot in the World Cup sides. With his height and the steep bounce he gets, he can easily break in, and be a valuable asset with Archer and Wood separating. He is finding ways to get a lot of awkward bounce and is already looking very tough to play. His left-arm angle gives him another advantage.

David Miller

David Miller is in some wonderful form. He is batting with a lot of maturities but most of his recent success has been in the T20 format. With him playing an ODI after a fair gap, it is to be seen if he can convert his success in T20 Cricket to ODI Cricket.

England vs South Africa Match Tips

The South African line-up is full of talent but they may lack the power to get past England at home. Although England is struggling to find wins, they will back themselves to come back to form and be at their aggressive best.

Match Prediction: England will win the match
