England vs South Africa Chance of Winning

England has struggled to make an impact in whiteball cricket and would be hoping to turn things around before the World Cup which would be played early Feb. England lost each of the first six ODI games this year but then they beat West Indies 3-0. In the last match they struggled to compete against South Africa and trail the series 1-0.

South Africa headed into this tournament after a brilliant performance against Australia in the ODIs where they beat Australia 2-1. South Africa could not have hoped for a better start to the series as they registered a dominant win against England. As per our calculations, South Africa are favourites in the upcoming game.

England vs South Africa Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Ben Duckett has struggled for form since the Test series against India as he struggled in The Hundred and then had a dismal showing in the opening game which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.

Temba Bavuma has been one of the most consistent batters for South Africa in all formats. In ODIs, Bavuma has scored 306 runs in seven matches in this calendar year even though he struggled in the last game, we believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

England vs South Africa Betting Odds

South Africa to have a better opening partnership than England

England and South Africa go head to head in the second match of the three game bilateral series after what was a one sided game. England batted first in the game and they struggled from the start as England lost early wickets and failed to recover. They lost their last five wickets for 24 runs and posted 131 runs on the scoreboard. As we anticipated, Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickleton dominated in the run chase as they had an opening stand of 121 runs and South Africa won the game with seven wickets to spare. As we stated in the last game, we expect South Africa openers to dominate once again and England to concede a bigger opening stand in the upcoming game.
