ENG vs SA 3rd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
The third and final ODI of the series sees England and South Africa go head to head at Headingley, Leeds on Sunday. A rain reduced fixture saw 20 wickets fall in 48.5 overs in Friday’s second game of the series with England emerging victors by 118 runs. Read on as we preview this decisive ODI. The game gets underway at 11:00 local time in Yorkshire.
England’s batting remains a concern and there will only be so many times that the bowlers can dig the side out. The home side must get one of their senior batters to bat long and generate confidence for the rest of the line-up.
South Africa looked to be on top at Old Trafford but found their batters out of their depth in pace bowling friendly conditions. They are level in the series and will fancy their chances in Leeds.

ENG vs SA Pitch Report
It will be a similar wicket to what we saw in Manchester which will see good carry for the pace bowlers. Overhead conditions will encourage the swing bowlers and we expect a par score no higher than 290.
Weather Report
Expect murky conditions throughout the game with cloud building as the game progresses. The temperature will be in the early 20s and rain is predicted in the mid-late afternoon period.

England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
The post-Ben Stokes ODI era began for England on Friday with David Willey coming into the team. Adil Rashid, Reece Topley and Phil Salt also came into the XI with Matty Potts and Brydon Carse missing out. We expect England to keep faith with the side who delivered the victory at Old Trafford
ENG Key Players
- Jonny Bairstow- the opener struck 28 runs from 27 balls at the top of the order for England in the second ODI. He hit three fours in his innings.
- Liam Livingstone- the batting all-rounder was asked to step-up and produce more runs now that Ben Stokes is no longer an ODI option. He did so and top scored for England with 38 runs from 26 balls.
- Reece Topley- the tall left-arm pace bowler continues to cause plenty of problems for the top order of teams. He dismissed Janneman Malan and Rassie van der Dussen in Manchester.
ENG Team Form
England continue to struggle with the bat in this format but it was their bowlers who delivered their first win in three ODIs on Friday.
England Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Phil Salt, Joe Root, Jos Butter (c) (wk), Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, David Willey, Sam Curran, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley
South Africa Team News & Playing 11
SA Team News
The Porteas began the second ODI in Manchester with the same team who completed the opening ODI of the series in Durham earlier in the week. Although the visitors did not get the result they wanted at Old Trafford, we expect them to keep the same XI for this must-win match.
SA Key Players
- Quinton de Kock- the keeper-batter took the catch to get rid of Joe Root on Friday. He was the only batter of South Africa’s top four not to make a duck.
- Rassie van der Dussen- after scoring a century in Durham on Tuesday, the reliable batter could only contribute a four ball duck at Old Trafford. He will benefit from a longer format game in Leeds.
- Anrich Nortje- the right arm fast bowler has had an impressive series so far. He dismissed two dangerous batters on Friday, Jason Roy and Liam Livingstone.
SA Team Form
South Africa have won one of their last three ODIs. They have not won back to back games in this format since January.
South Africa Predicted Playing 11
Quinton de Kock (wk), Janneman Malan, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Heinrich Klaasen, Dwaine Pretorius, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Keshav Maharaj (c), Tabraiz Shamsi

🏆 England vs South Africa Prediction
Although England got the win at Old Trafford, there is still plenty of room for improvement for the 2019 World Cup Winners, particularly with the bat. We predict that this game will be dominated by the bowlers and expect England to come out on top of a low-scoring match.
