South Africa is all set to face England in the 4th test match scheduled to take place on 22 January, 2016 (Friday) at the SuperSport Park, Centurion in South Africa at 8:30 am local time. After a humiliating match in front of their home crowd, the South African team will be looking forward to a face- saving win in this 4th test. England claimed victory by 7 wickets in the 3rd test match against South Africa with the current scores being 2-0. The host team is believed to be making some changes in their game plan in order to achieve victory while the England team will try to keep up with their impeccable performance during this test series. With the 4th test scheduled to take place this weekend, it will be interesting to see which team will take advantage of the occasion and plays to its strengths.
With this test series already have gone out of hand for South Africa, this team is expected to make a few changes to its current game play. Opener Stiaan van Zyl has been replaced by Stephen Cook for making the debut, given to Stiaan’s inability to impress the audiences with his batting skills. While there are chances for spinner Dane Piedt to be recalled into the team, players like Vernon Philander and Dale Steyn are still not fit to play. Soon after the 2nd test, AB de Villiers was seen taking the reins from Amla but all was in futile. While AB de Villiers failed to put his best foot forward, there are several strong players in their batting lineup, such as Hashim Amla, Dean Elgar, Faf du Plessis and Quinton de Kock.
On the bowling side, Kagiso Rabada picked up 5 wickets in the 1st innings as well as Morkel showed off his wicket- taking skills with 3 wickets in hand. With the bowling side largely dependent on Rabada’s and Morkel’s wicket- taking skills, these are two great players to place your bets on. This team will have to plan and execute its batting performance to the mark or they could be witnessing a complete wipeout in the 4th test as well. AB de Villiers has a lot to prove as the captain, however, the ball is very much in the England team’s court.
England has very well showcased its dominance over the home team for most of this test series. They have also left the hosts stunned during the 3rd test by humiliating them with 83 runs all- out in the second innings. Stuart Broad was a delight to watch with an amazing 6-17 in 12 overs. Players like Steve Finn and James Anderson with 3 wickets each and Ben Stokes with 5 wickets is all that it took for outdoing the hosts. Joe Root’s fabulous 110 runs in the first innings and Alastair Cook’s 43 runs during the second innings was truly a blessing for this team.
With the England team already having proved their mantle in 2 tests before with a well- balanced bowling as well as batting squad, the English side looks well- prepared for yet another victory. If you are looking forward to placing your bets on a run scorer, Ben Stokes and Johnny Bairstow are great choices in this upcoming 4th test match.
The weather at the SuperSport Park in Centurion, South Africa is expected to remain sunny for most part of the day with there being the chances of a light drizzle. After putting up a flop show during the 3rd Test against England, the South African team will be low on morale but given to their record, they also have ample room for bouncing back. In the meanwhile, England is currently flying high with their recent victories and looks like a team that is already in the winning spot in this last test match.
South Africa: 2.62, England: 2.37
