England Team News & Playing 11

Team News

England have rested all-rounder Ben Stokes and star batsman Joe Root for this upcoming T20 international series and have brought in five uncapped players - Liam Livingstone, Tom Curran, Dawid Malan, Craig Overton and Mason Crane.

Key Players

Jos Buttler has a fifty in the two T20s he has played at the Rose Bowl. He is averaging 100 here and he will be the key in England's batting. Eoin Morgan had a good Champions Trophy and there will be expectations on him too. Liam Dawson has three wickets in the only T20 at this ground and the left-arm spinner will play a vital role for England when it comes to bowling.

Recent Form

England have neither been very impressive nor too bad in the shortest format of the game in recent times. They have won six and lost four of their previous ten T20 internationals. Their most recent series came in India earlier this year where they were beaten 1-2 by the hosts in a three-match series.

England Predicted Playing 11

  • Eoin Morgan (c), Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler (wk), Sam Billings, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Jason Roy, Mark Wood, Liam Plunkett, David Willey, Liam Dawson

South Africa Team News & Playing 11

Team News

South Africa have rested the likes of Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock, Faf du Plessis and JP Duminy for this series. Reeza Hendricks, Mangaliso Mosehle, Jon-Jon Smuts and Tabraiz Shamsi have been drafted into the squad.

Key Players

Though AB de Villiers has been out of form for a while, he is still one of the most destructive batsmen in the world when it comes to T20 cricket. He is the second-highest run-getter for South Africa in this format and the team will hope that he finds his form back in this game. Imran Tahir and Morne Morkel are two of the most successful bowlers for the side in the 20-overs format and the two will pose the biggest challenge to the English batters.

Recent Form

South Africa will not be too happy with how they have performed in 20-overs cricket of late, winning just four of their last ten matches. They last played a T20 international against New Zealand at Auckland which they won by 78 runs.

South Africa Predicted Playing 11

  • AB de Villiers (c), David Miller, Chris Morris, Wayne Parnell, Andile Phehlukwayo, Imran Tahir, Morne Morkel, Farhaan Behardien, Reeza Hendricks, JJ Smuts, Dane Paterson

­England vs South Africa Head to Head

South Africa and England have played 11 T20 internationals against each other with the former leading the scoreline 7-4. The two teams last squared off at the 2016 World T20 in India where England ended up victors by two wickets. This is the first time that these two nations will be meeting in a T20 at the Rose Bowl.

­England vs South Africa Betting Odds

England have won two and lost as many in the four T20 internationals they have played at this ground. They beat Sri Lanka comprehensively the last time they played a 20-over game over here. The hosts are favorites to win this match at 1.72 with both Betfair and Bet365. South Africa have a better head-to-head count against England in this version of the game but they have not been at their best in recent times. The Proteas therefore start as outsiders at 2.28 with betfair and 2.10 with bet365.

­England vs South Africa Prediction

Both teams have rested quite a few of their big players for this series. While South Africa will be without Amla, du Plessis, de Kock and Rabada, England have roped in five such players into their squad who have not represented their country at the international level in any format. England however do have the home advantage and the psychological advantage of having beaten South Africa in the one-day series prior to the Champions Trophy. Although the Proteas have got the better of England three times in their previous four T20 encounters, we predict the hosts to win this contest and go 1-0 up in the series.

Final Verdict: Back England to beat South Africa in the first T20 at 1.72 with both betfair and bet365.
