South Africa vs England, 2nd ODI: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

South Africa and England are scheduled to lock horns in the second game of the three-match ODI series on Sunday, January 29. The Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein will host the contest.

South Africa, led by Temba Bavuma, started the series after winning the opening game by 27 runs on Friday, January 27. It also kept their hopes of qualifying directly for the 50-over World Cup to be held next year alive. The Proteas still need to win their next four matches.

For now, Bavuma’s men will be looking for a series whitewash. The hosts found themselves in all sorts of trouble in the first match. After being set a target of 299 to chase, England made a stupendous start courtesy of a 146-run stand for the opening wicket between Dawid Malan and Jason Roy.

However, Sisanda Magala and Anrich Nortje picked up three and four wickets, respectively, to break the backbone of the visitors' batting unit. England were bowled out for 271 in 44.2 overs. Magala went on to bag the Player of the Match award. Jason Roy’s 11th ODI hundred went in vain.

Earlier, Rassie van der Dussen was the standout batter for South Africa. The right-hander scored 111 runs off 117 balls with the help of six fours and one six. David Miller also scored 53 off 56, helping the home team almost touch the 300-run mark.
