First ODI England vs South Africa

First ODI between England and South Africa will be very exciting match. England will play under new captain Harry Brook and with Jofra Archer back will be looking to start series strong on their home ground. South Africa is very confident at this time because they are coming with great momentum after recent series win against Australia. Historically this match is very competitive but England has better record against South Africa at home. Because of England home advantage and return of key players they are favorites to win but South Africa good recent form means it will be close and exciting game.

England weren't able to take nay home advantage. Infact they played so badly that they got all out at 131 runs. This is not even a good T20 score and they have made this in an ODI match. Only Jamie Smith made a 50+ runs in this innings and he looked confident but he can't do anything alone when rest of the batsmen didn't stayed on the wicket. The whole team was out under 25 overs and it was really a shameful performance by them today.
Yep, In the 1st ODI England lost the game badly by South Africa by losing all the wickets in just 131 runs and It was the England's worst innings in ODIs. England opened first with Jamie and Ben who scored 13 runs partnership losing an early wicket suffering a high presure situation. The upcoming players performed a bit average but as the game progessed South Africa's bowler eliminated players. Especially the middle and final order players couldn't make great runs for which their innings ended at 131 runs.
South Africa dominated the game from the start as they opened tiwh Aiden and Ryan who scored a 121 runs partnership and after that just 10 runs were left which were chased by the Dewald. South Africa won this game by stunning performance in batting and bowling as well.
