Jason Roy,Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root , Eoin Morgan, Jos Butler and Ben Stokes all are in good form.In South Africa Kagiso Rabada with Andile Phehlukwayo, Lungi Ngidi and Chris Morris will lead pace attack. Imran Tahir with vast experience will lead spin department.
In South Africa batting line Hashim Amla is scoring well. Quinton de Kock , Faf de Plessis , Rassie Van der Dussen and JP Duminy and David Miller has ability to destroy England Pace attack.England Pace attack will be Jofra Archer,Chris Woakes and Mark Wood.Mark Wood may be replaced with Liam Plunkett.Adil Rashid will lead spin department with help of Moeen Ali. Ben Stokes will play as all rounder.
Interesting contest.Jos Buttler vs Kagiso Rabada.
Jos Buttler has now highest SR in ODI and Kagiso Rabada as fastest bowler who will be winner let us see.
Prediction.
In my opinion a high scoring match is expected, South Africa has more chances of win as they have less pressure on them.South Africa has 55% and England has 45% chances. Hashim Amla will play a major role in South Africa victory. England batting may be collapsed vs Lungi Ngidi and Rabada.
