England vs South Africa Team Prediction – Key players by ICC-Cricket and Cricinfo.com
Jofra Archer (England): The batting looks suitably reinforced, so it is important that Archer hits the ground running for England to establish an equally potent bowling unit.
Imran Tahir (South Africa): Tahir will be the man tasked to do it. His guile and experience could prove crucial against the strong England middle order.
Jason Roy’s partnership with Jonny Bairstow is already among the most statistically awesome in ODI history, but on his Surrey home ground, and with a run of two fifties and a hundred in his last three ODI innings, it is Roy who seems best placed to produce the game-shaping onslaught – not least after his dress-rehearsal 89 not out from 46 balls against Afghanistan on this very ground.
There was a palpable sense of panic in South Africa’s ranks when Kagiso Rabada was flown home early from the IPL after sustaining a back niggle.
