England is hosting this big event of cricket. There are many things that are different in this season of world cup from previous versions.

We had mentioned above South Africa had not won any world cup in their history of cricket but they had played good cricket in all other matches.

South African is also facing some injuries as their key bowler, Dayle Stane is almost out from this event due to an injury. They have a choice between Hashim Amla and Aiden Markram. The performance of Hashim Amla had not been good since last some months. He also could not perform well in domestic cricket.

ENG vs SA Head to Head

Matches Played: 59
ENG Won: 26
SA Won: 29
Tie: 1
No Result: 3

ENG Key players

Jonny Bairstow:
Bairstow has made the openers spot his own since being given an opportunity to break into the ODI setup as a specialist batsman.

Jofra Archer:
He may just have started his international career but Archer has been grabbing headlines for some time already. The Barbados-born allrounder is arguably the most exciting fast bowling prospect outside of South Africa.

SA Key players

Quinton de Kock:
De Kock represents the Proteas best hope of keeping pace with England’s explosive top order. The left-handed wicketkeeper-batsman didn’t open against Sri Lanka but was back at the top for the washout against the Windies.

Kagiso Rabada:
Rabada was on fire in the IPL and could be the man to knock the wheels off of England’s World cup bus. His pace and aggression will provide England with opportunities to send him to the boundary but he is a proven wicket-taker.
