ENG vs SA: Current Form
England enter this series in strong form, having last played a 3-match ODI series against the West Indies in June, where they secured a dominant 3-0 clean sweep. The hosts will aim to carry that momentum into this home series and assert dominance early on. South Africa, meanwhile, are coming off a mixed outing against Australia. Although they clinched the series, the heavy defeat in the final ODI where Australia piled up over 400 runs may dent their confidence. Nevertheless, the Proteas will see this tour as an opportunity to regroup and bounce back against a formidable English side.
