SA vs ENG 3rd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
The resilient South African team registered their highest successful ODI chase against England to clinch victory in the 2nd ODI at Mangaung Oval. However, an opportunity for a clean sweep, and perhaps to strengthen their position in the ICC World Cup 2023 in India would lie, in De Beers Stadium in Kimberley for the Proteas. Before the showdown on February 1, let us take a detailed look at the pitch report, preview, probable XI, key players, and much more. So, without any further ado, let's get straight into it.
The home side is full of confidence and their performance in the 2nd ODI was just a testament to it. Knowing that their place in the upcoming World Cup later in the year is at stake, South Africa will be itching to hand England another clean sweep in Kimberley.
It is safe to state that Jos Butler’s side was a much-improved unit in the 2nd ODI yet they find themselves trailing 0-2 and only have their pride to play for. At Kimberley, the away side would be looking to throw the kitchen sink at the Proteas in order to break their losing streak in ODIs.

South Africa Team News & Playing 11
SA Team News
Given that the batting lineup has been consistent, there could be some changes in the bowling department. Kagiso Rabada and Sisanda Magala are likely to return for the final ODI. Whereas Keshav Maharaj could still be chosen ahead of Tabraiz Shamsi.
SA Key Players
- Rassie van der Dussen - After knocking a century in the 1st ODI, Van der Dussen got off to a positive start in the 2nd ODI. So, it is likely that he will be able to tackle the English bowling lineup to his advantage in the last matchup as well.
- Anrich Nortje - The right-arm pacer has been South Africa’s best bowler in this series. There are no doubts that he will again cause problems for the English middle-order in the 3rd ODI.
- Temba Bavuma - Having gone through heaps of criticism for his captaincy struggles, Bavuma answered his critics with a century. In the 3rd ODi, he is likely to improve upon his upward trajectory.
SA Team Form
A whitewash could strengthen South Africa’s in the Super League Standings. Having already won 3 of their last 5 ODIs, the Proteas have their morals boosted.

ENG Team News
After Chris Woakes and Reece Topley proved to be too expensive for the side in the 2nd ODI, England could bring back Jofra Archer and David Willey into their starting XI.
ENG Key Players
- Jason Roy - If this top-order Englishman gets going, there are little chances for the Proteas to dismiss him before he gets into the 3 figures via his attacking style of play.
- Jos Butler - Given that De Beers Stadium is a tough wicket to bat on, the English captain will once be required to stabilize and compose the batting innings of his team.
- Olly Stone - This right-arm fast bowler has taken 3 wickets in these 2 ODIs combined, wherein his economy rate has been less than 5.5 in both of them.
ENG Team Form
England is lucky they aren’t in a spot of bother for the 2023 World Cup Qualification, but currently, they do look like the most vulnerable 50-over side.
England Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Dawid Malan, Harry Brook, Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Olly Stone
