Today, the 2nd match will be played between Africa and England. The match will be held at the surface of Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein. South Africa is a step ahead in this series, with 1-0 till now. Till now, the situation is tied between both if we look at the last 5 ODI encounters. RSA won 2; ENG won 2, and 1 without a result.
The track was flat but had a bit of spongy bounce in the first game. If the same track was used, a little spongy will be observed. If the same track is used in 2nd ODI, that could mean more seam movement for the bowlers upfront.
Here is the expected South African ODI playing eleven. Quinton de Kock (wk), Temba Bavuma (c), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Wayne Parnell, Sisanda Magala, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, and Tabraiz Shamsi.
On the other hand, Chris Woakes or Reece Topley could make a way to play eleven as Phil Salt suffers from an illness. It is expected that the team will consist of Jason Roy, Dawid Malan, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Olly Stone/Reece Topley/Chris Woakes.
