Today, South Africa was seen to be aggressive most of the time, South Africa scored 163 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 32 overs. South Africa captain Bavuma believes that they will be able to play a significant role in winning today's match as well. Every player in the South African team is hardworking, but England is much stronger than South Africa but they are not able to play a significant role in this series.
However, I can see in the mirror that the South African players will be able to score runs more aggressively in the last minute.

South Africa scored 330 runs and surely this is not going to be chased by England. In the previous game, England lost all their wickets at less than 150 runs so it is difficult task for them.

But at the same time, they might have been already prepared for it, let's see in the some of the next minutes, the innings will start of England, if England gets a good start it would be great and could be easy win for the England, the should take early runs by taking singles and doubles avoid to big shots in the early overs and do not be under pressure because of the high required run rate.

In the first ODI match, South Africa quickly secured victory against England by bowling out the England team for a few runs and then batting in the second innings. Similarly, today, in the second ODI match, South Africa has batted first against England, where they have managed to accumulate 330 runs on the final scoreboard in 50 overs. That is, this South Africa team has become so strong that if they bat first, they can make a huge collection against the opponent, and if South Africa bowls first, they can bowl out the opponent for a few runs. Seeing such a performance of South Africa, it seems that if the ODI World Cup was held recently, South Africa might have performed best there.

However, the target for England in the second ODI match is 331 runs, that is, England has to score 6+ runs in every over, if England cannot do that, then their run rate will continue to increase, but England's batsmen will be under considerable batting pressure, as a result of which the scales of victory will tilt towards South Africa.
