SA VS ENG MATCH PREDICTION

South Africa will play the first match of the ODI Super League, and the fact that it is against the world champions England may not come in as happy news for the South African camp. They have rested their lead pacer Kagiso Rabada. The former captain Faf du Plessis is also rested. The rest of the team is expected to be the same as that what played the last ODI before the COVID outbreak.

England on the other hand has rested Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer. Despite their absence, they have enough suitable replacements to fill in that void.

SA Playing XI: Quinton de Kock, Janneman Malan, Kyle Verreynne, Jon-Jon Smuts, Rassie Van der Dussen, David Miller, Andile Phehlukwayo, Keshav Maharaj/ George Linde, Anrich Nortje, Tabraiz Shamsi, Lungi Ngidi

ENG Playing XI: Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Tom Curran, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood

SA vs ENG Toss Prediction and Pitch Report

The pitch in Capetown is expected to behave more on the faster side. The team batting first has won the majority of the matches in this venue in the day-night matches. So it is better to bat first on this track. Considering the nature of the pitch, anything above 270 would be a good enough total.

Predicted Score:

If South Africa bats first: 260-270
If England bats first: 310-320

Players who are expected to perform well as per SA vs ENG Dream11 Teams.

Top Batsman

SA- Quinton de Kock

South African captain is an absolute beast in white-ball cricket. He showed great form in the recently concluded IPL and the T20I series. With home conditions expected to fuel his game a little more, the chances of him making a big score cannot be ruled out.

ENG- Jonny Bairstow

As the format gets longer, Jonny will be back to his most preferred batting position- that is the opening slot. Considering the form that he is in, he is expected to top the batting charts.

Other prominent Batsmen: R Van der Dussen,  Eoin Morgan, Joe Root, Janneman Malan

Top Bowlers

SA- Anrich Nortje

In the absence of Rabada, he is the key pacer in this South African bowling unit.

ENG- Adil Rashid

Adil Rashid has the knack for picking up key wickets in the 50 over format. With Archer missing ut, Morgan will rely heavily on this leggie to take up crucial wickets.

Other prominent Bowlers: Chris Woakes, Tabraiz Shamsi, Mark Wood
