2nd ODI: South Africa vs England | Fantasy Tips and Teams

Source: Twitter/ ICC

After a fierce battle in the first ODI, it's time to shift our attention to the second ODI between South Africa and England. The venue remains constant at the Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein. 

The previous match sailed like the oscillations of a pendulum and in the end it was South Africa who snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. South Africa got off to 298 runs on the back of a sensational century from Rassie van der Dussen. David Miller lit up some fireworks at the cue end of the innings to boost the total. 

Arriving for the chase, Jason Roy and Dawid Malan gave a rollicking start to the English side with the former scoring a century. They glued 146 runs together and as soon as a wicket fell, collapse followed. Anrich Nortje, Sisanda Magala and Kagiso Rabada were brilliant with the white sphere and ensured that the visitors fall short by 27 runs. 

Ground Stats: Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein

The ground is known to offer assistance to the batters. It won't be wrong to say that the spinners get very little purchase from the venue. There is uneven bounce for the pacers and sticking to the fourth stump line helps. Nevertheless, a run feast can be expected.

SA vs ENG, 2nd ODI: Top Five Picks

1. Jason Roy: The top order batter announced himself this year with a century, in national colours. He was phenomenal in the previous ODI and will look to produce more such innings.
2. Anrich Nortje: The tall pacer was sensational last day with the ball in hand. He was the chief wreaker in the backbone of the English batting order and scalped four wickets.
3. Rassie van der Dussen: The middle-order batter was impressive in the previous game and steered his side to 290 plus score with a sensational ton. 
4. Sisanda Magala: The paceman has been impressive in the ongoing SA20 and he continued his good form into the ODIs. He provided three crucial wickets in the previous match's victory.
5. Sam Curran: The English all-rounder is experiencing his peak at the moment. If not with the bat, but definitely with the ball in hand. He bagged a three-fer in the last game and can deliver in all phases.
