ENG vs SA | 2nd ODI | Match Preview, Key Players, CREX 11

South Africa will look to emulate their success from the last game. The Proteas won the previous match against England by 62 runs and will be hungry for more.

Both the teams have been in good touch when it comes to white-ball cricket. However, the home side must improve on all three fronts to equalize the series.

Jos Buttler’s men will be eyeing a win in the second game, as a loss would see them suffer the second consecutive series defeat in the same month.

Key Players

Rassie van der Dussen: The South African star was in sublime form against England as he smashed the English bowlers across the park scoring 134 runs off 117 deliveries.

Jonny Bairstow: Baistow is enjoying the summer of his life. The wicket-keeper batter is in some form and has scored runs all across the globe. He played a vital knock of 63 runs off 71 deliveries that kept England in the game.

Pitch and Weather Report: The pitch at Old Trafford has been a batting haven for the batters, and we could expect another high-scoring affair. However, we could see the bowlers receive some early help from the track with overcast conditions.
