First ODI England vs South Africa

[...]

This upcoming match will be fight of styles and this will be very tough competition. Yes England has advantage with Jofra Archer back and home crowd but new captain Harry Brook also faces much of pressure. You correctly noted that South Africa recent win against Australia gives them huge confidence boost which might matter more than England historical home record. All these factors point to very close and exciting game where South Africa good form could lead to upset against favorite England.

What we are seeing is that England squad had to face defeat in first match of one day format competition with big lead. This victory proved that South Africa squad is quite strong side in one day format as they also defeated Australia squad in previous one day format competition. Now it remains to be seen how England squad responds to this loss in next match. In first match, England squad was begun match first with batting inning and batters were managed to collect 131 scores after playing 50 overs inning and lost all wickets. Keshav Maharaj and Wiaan Mulder both build strong batting partnership and both picked up 3 and 4 crucial wickets respectively. Aiden Markram batter displayed very fantastic strength in batting and he collected 86 scores.
