ENG vs SA Preview

• In the opening ODI, South Africa defeated England by 62 runs.
• The SA triumph was led by Rassie Van der Dussen (134 runs) and Aiden Markram (77 runs and 2 wickets).
• In their last 5 games, England has only achieved 2 victories at Old Trafford, Manchester.

 

On Friday afternoon at Old Trafford in Manchester, the second of three one-day international matches between England and South Africa begins. Tuesday in Durham, England’s Test captain Ben Stokes played his farewell ODI as his team suffered a 62-run defeat. With a score of 333-5, South Africa never appeared to be losing.  The game kicks off around 13:30 local time.

Due to their recent struggles in this format, England’s batting, bowling, and fielding will all be weakened by Ben Stokes’ retirement. They still possess a lot of players of the highest caliber, though, and will be eager to recover.

South Africa was very outstanding in Durham and will always pose a threat on their best day. Their biggest problem right now is consistency, so it will be intriguing to see if they can string together victories.

England Team News & Probable Playing XIs

Ben Stokes must be replaced in the starting XI, therefore England will make at least one change. We anticipate the addition of David Willey to the lineup and an increase in the amount of on-field pressure placed on Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone. Reece Topley, who had a break in Durham, will join the team once more.
