Match Details:
Series: South Africa VS England ODI Series.
Venue: Newlands, Capetown.
Date & Time: 4th December at 04:30 PM IST.
SA VS ENG Preview:
South Africa will take on England in the first ODI on Friday at Newlands in Cape Town. This will be the 1st ODI of a three-match series. England won the T20I series 3-0, riding on the back of some fine performances from Jonny Bairstow and ‘Player of the Series’ Dawid Malan. The bowlers did a decent job too, although their death bowling in the third T20I may be a cause for some concern. Jofra Archer, Chris Jordan, Sam Curran, and Ben Stokes have all been rested for the ODIs. South Africa has dealt a huge blow for the ODI series as Kagiso Rabada will miss out due to an injury. De Kock and his team will look to bounce back from the whitewash in the T20Is and get a positive result this time around.
Pitch Report:
The fresh wicket in Cape Town will likely offer assistance to the pace bowlers in the first match. However, there have not been too many high-scoring matches at Newlands. Nonetheless, given the many big-hitters that are present in the two squads, fans should expect an even contest between batsmen and bowlers at this venue. We can expect the scores to rise up to 280 and the pitch will look to remain the same, the entire day.

Dream11 Breakdown:
Wicket-keeper:
In this section we have Quinton De Kock and Jos Buttler. De Kock will be the main player to look on for, as he would not only be keeping but also captaining his side along with opening the innings for his side. On the other hand we have an explosive batsmen who will be giving a blistering rise in the run rate for England. He can also be a secondary keeper in case Bairstow fails to deliver.
Batsmen:
In this section we have the best ODI batsmen in the world. We can pick Van Der Dussen, Faf Du Plessis, Jason Roy and Joe Root. Dussen and Faf have been in tremendous form in the recent T20 series. The IPL factor also supports Faf to be picked. On the other hand we have the all time legendary retro batsmen Roy and Root, who are known for their consistency and ability to build the innings when their team is sinking.
All-Rounders:
In this section we have Moeen Ali and A Phehlukwayo. Both the players are well adaptive and timely hitters with some quality bowling in their hands. One pacer and one spinner would help the drea team to gain more momentum in terms of points.
Bowlers:
In this section we have Chris Woakes, A Nortjee and A Rashid. Since the pitch in Capetown gives a lot of bounce and swing, pacers are the best go to players. Therefore two pacers in the team is indeed a plus point provided adding a quality spinner would again help the bidders win big in the fantasy leagues.
SA VS ENG Top Picks:
De Kock, Faf Du Plessis, J Root, J Buttler and A Nortjee.
Captain And Vice Captain Options:
Quinton De Kock and Faf Du Plessis.
Match prediction:
We can have a clear look at both the teams and analyze them based on individual abilities. In terms of balance and star players, the England team are far ahead of the South African team. The recent IPL held also adds to the advantage to all the young England players and therefore we predict that the English players are indeed going to ace this game.
Winning Percentage:
SA – 45% ; ENG – 55%
