ENG vs SA: Match Preview:

England have just completed the 3-match ODI series against India as Jos Buttler lost his first ODI series for England as the full-time captain. Even though England managed to win one match, the batting failed as the English team were bowled out in all three matches. With names like Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Jost Buttler and Ben Stokes (for the 1st ODI), England would look to start strong in the series with a win. 

Contrary to the English batting, the bowling department looked strong in the last two ODIs against India. Led by Reece Topley, the bowling attack looks formidable enough to take on any batting lineup, especially in their home conditions. 

South Africa played their last ODI series in March 2022, against Bangladesh where they lost the 3-match series 2-1 at home. Prior to that, the Proteas registered a 3-0 clean sweep against India in the ODI series at home earlier in 2022. Rassie van der Dussen has been the top scorer for Proteas with 316 runs in 6 innings with an average of 105.33 while striking at 100.31. Quinton de Kock has smashed 303 runs in 5 innings while Temba Bavuma has 223 runs to his name in 6 innings. 

Amongst the bowlers, Lungi Ngidi & Andile Phehlukwayo have been the highest wicket-takers this year for South Africa with 7 wickets each to their name in 6 and 4 innings respectively. The bowling unit would have to work against an able English batting lineup to register a win.
