SA vs ENG 2nd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
After beating England in the first ODI of a 3-game series at Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein, South Africa have climbed up one spot, and are now in the 10th place in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. In simpler words, the Proteas qualification for the 2023 World Cup in India will be impacted by this ODI series. Given that a lot is at stake for the home side, let us look straight into the preview, betting tips, pitch report among more before the star of the second ODI at the same venue.
Tempa Bavuma’s captaincy is under massive scrutiny only because he hasn’t led the Proteas to clinch any ODI series’ victory ever since South Africa clean swept Indian 3-0 back in early 2022. However, their most recent performance showcased how maturely South African players can handle pressure from the opposition.
Prior to the loss on January 27, England hadn’t played a single ODI game since November 2022. Given that the English side are yet to find their perfect combination for the 50-over format, they could once again be second best at the same venue in the 2nd ODI.

SA vs ENG Match Toss Prediction
Given that 16 of the 32 matches at the Mangaung Oval have been won by teams bowling first, South Africa will be pretty confident in once again batting first in the 2nd ODI. Moreover, given how the ball bounced in the second innings of the 1st ODI, England too will be hoping to bat first.
SA vs ENG, Mangaung Oval Pitch Report
The average batting score at Mangaung Oval is 240. But given the aggressive nature and style of attacking of players on both sides, each team will be wanting their batsman to set the score high with the pitch playing slow early on. This pitch also allowed some help for the seamers.
Bloemfontein Weather Report
There are no chances of a rain interruption, and the temp would once again be around 29 to 33 degrees during the match hours.

South Africa Team News & Playing 11
SA Team News
Although there are no injuries to any player in the 1st ODI, Tabraiz Shamsi could well be replaced by Keshav Maharaj for the 2nd ODI. While spinner might play a crucial role in the latter half of the innings, Maharaj can be off the great use for Bavuma.
SA Key Players
- Rassie van der Dussen- Showcasing just how viciously he can attack the raw and rigid fast bowling attack of England, Van Der Dussen will undoubtedly be a batsman of great significance for the home side.
- Sisanda Magala- The 32-year-old right-arm fast was exceptional in his 9 over spell in the 1st ODI. Given his style of bowling, Magala could once again trouble the English battling lineup with his variation.
- Anrich Nortje- Having picked 4 wickets at an economy rate of 6.2 runs per over, Nortje will once again be handed the ball in the middle overs only to break the rhythm of the opposition players.
SA Team Form
Prior to the T20 World Cup, South Africa lost a series (2-1) via the hands of India in the subcontinent itself by failing to deliver in the deciding game.

ENG Team News
Jofra Archer did not perform well as per his previously set standards, but he would still be preferred to role out in the 2nd ODI as well. It seems like Chris Woakes will be brought back into the side before things get too late.
ENG Key Players
- Jason Roy- After knocking a resilient century in the 1st ODI, Roy has seen plenty of Nortje and Rabada to face them until he sets firm on the crease. There is no doubt that Roy will pretty much try to counter attack to the South African bowling attack on January 29th as well.
- Sam Curran- The underrated left arm medium fast bowler picked up 3 wickets for England, and has even understood how he can use this pitch for his own benefit.
- Jos Butler- Being the captain as well as the wickettake foe this newly shaped English side, Butler seemed to be in fine touch (scored 36 runs off 42 balls in 1st ODI) until he was caught off by Quinton de Kock.
ENG Team Form
After clinching the T20 World Cup again, England were whitewashed by Australia 3-0 in their previous ODI series. Having to find their best form, England have statiscally lost 4 back-to-back ODIs now.
England Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Dawid Malan, Harry Brook, Phil Salt, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Olly Stone
