England Tour Of South Africa | SA VS ENG | 1st ODI , 27 January , 4:30 PM | Match Preview

Series: England tour of South Africa, 2023

South Africa vs England, 1st ODI 27th january 4.30pm

Venue: Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein

South Africa are set to host England for a 3-match ODI series where the home team would look to avoid playing qualifiers in the upcoming World Cup with wins in this series.
This series is a crucial one for home team South Africa as it will decide their fate in the ODI World Cup 2023 to be held in India. If the Proteas lose this series,
they will have to play the qualifiers to feature in the main tournament. With SA20 on a one-week break, the Temba Bavuma-led side is at full strength with all the players available.
Reeza Hendricks, Janneman Malan, Aiden Markram, David Miller and Rassie van der Dussen along with Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen will form a strong batting lineup.

The bowling will be spearheaded by Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje, who have been excellent with the ball.
Lungi Ngidi is also named in the squad while deceptive pacer Sisanda Magala has been recalled and cricket fans would have their eyes on the 32-year-old bowler.

England, on the other hand, are sitting in the 4th spot with 12 wins in 18 matches in the ODI World Cup Super League points table and are set to feature in the World Cup as defending champions.
However, they conceded a 3-0 defeat in the last ODI series (vs Australia) and would look to bounce back against the Proteas.
Harry Brook, Dawid Malan, Jason Roy, Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, Ben Duckett along with Moeen Ali and Sam Curran will comprise the batting lineup to take on a strong Proteas bowling lineup.

Jofra Archer’s return to the international circuit is the big highlight from England bowling. The pacer has shown form after a long time out due to injury and his return to the international
stage for England can be beneficial with the upcoming World Cup in mind. Reece Topley, Olly Stone, David Willey,
Sam Curran and Chris Woakes will be the other pacers while Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid will lead the spin department.
