SA vs ENG today match prediction: The hosts led by Quinton de Kock were in the game for a brief part of 30 overs in the 1st T20I but Jonny Bairstow had other ideas as he was too good for the South African bowlers. He along with Ben Stokes took the game away from South Africa. England are the most destructive batting unit at the moment and the way they have utilized their batting resources is something that other international teams can only dream about and more importantly they know how to maximize them.
South Africa on the other hand clearly struggled as far as their bowling is concerned. Ideally they should have won the game had Faf Du Plessis taken the catch of Jonny Bairstow. They will be looking to comeback harder in the 2nd game as they definitely wouldn’t want to lose 2 back to back series in their home.

SA vs ENG dream11 prediction for today’s match
In SA vs ENG today match prediction, lets take a look at the strengths and weaknesses of both the sides.
Strengths
South Africa (SA)
Their batting order looked like a settled unit with Quinton de Kock and Faf Du Plessis taking the responsibility of setting the platform for lower order batsman. George Linde bowled really well and even finished the innings with a bang with the bat.
England (ENG)
They have settled on to a batting unit that might serve them for long time now. They have tasted success at #7 in the form of Sam Curran who was brilliant with both bat and ball. They well and truly look like a well oiled machine.
Weaknesses
South Africa (SA)
Their bowling attack has been a pretty “average at best” type at the moment. Kagiso Rabada clearly struggles against batters who can handle pace and he don’t have plan B for them. Tabraiz Shamsi is not inspiring as well though he dismissed Ben Stokes in the previous game. They need their opener Temba Bavuma to give them a brisk start and take the pressure off Quinton de Kock.
England (ENG)
They don’t have any glaring weakness in their batting apart from Jason Roy’s woes against SLA. In the bowling front, they need to get in Mark Wood in place of Tom Curran.
