ENG vs SA: Ground Pitch Report

Headingley offers a great wicket for the batting sides. It has a flat surface, which will improve more with time, and it is a high-scoring game. However, initially, there will be some swing for the fast bowlers. But as the history suggests, the chasing team has better numbers here.

ENG vs SA: Possible XIs

England: Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Joe Root, Harry Brook (captain), Jos Buttler, Jamie Smith (wk), Jacob Bethell, Rehan Ahmed, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Sonny Baker

South Africa: Ryan Rickelton (wk), Aiden Markram, Matthew Breetzke, Temba Bavuma (captain), Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, Wiaan Mulder, Corbin Bosch, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Kwena Maphaka

ENG vs SA: Player to Watch Out For

Probable Best Batter: Joe Root (England)

In England, you can't write off Joe Root in any format. He is the run machine in these conditions and is also in good form. Hence, it won't be a surprise if he ends up this game as a top scorer.

Probable Best Bowler: Kagiso Rabada (South Africa)

Kagiso Rabada has been in great form and did well in Australia. He is a great exponent of the swing, and these conditions will suit him very well.

Today's Match Prediction: England have a great batting unit, but their bowling can be fragile at times. Hence, we believe South Africa have a good chance to win.
