South Africa vs England, 2nd ODI: South Africa men and England men are set to face each other in the second game of the three-match One Day International (ODI) series hosted by the Proteas. The match will be played on Sunday (January 29) at 1:30 PM (IST) at the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein.
South Africa recently won the first ODI of the series on January 27. The side put on brilliant performances in all three departments. The Temba Bavuma-led men now will aim to lead and seal the series 2-0.
On the other hand, England were the favorites to win the first game of the series at some point. But as the openers got out, the visitors fell pretty hastily. The reigning white ball champions will be looking to at least level the series.
