Top Pick – All-Rounder

Wayne Parnell is a good buy in the all-rounder’s category. So far in his 69 ODIs, he has scalped 97 wickets with the best figures of 5 for 48 and scored 534 runs in 40 innings at an average of 20.53.

Top Pick – Bowler

Adil Rashid is a genuine spinner for England who will play a huge role in the middle overs. In 119 ODIs, he has picked up 169 wickets with the best figures of 5 for 27.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper

Jos Buttler will as usual bat in the middle order in the 50-over format. In 11 ODIs in 2022, he has scored 403 runs at an average of 57.57 with the highest score of 162*.

Pre-Match Analysis:

South African players need to switch their T20 mode style of play to the 50-over format. Temba Bavuma-led side on their own day can destroy any opposition with the quality and depth they have. It’s been more than 3 months since they have featured in ODIs. The management has kept faith in Temba Bavuma despite not the outcome they got in recent times under his leadership. They played only 11 complete ODIs in 2022 and won 6 of them. It’s an important series from the World Cup qualification point of view as they are placed at 11th spot in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League standings with 59 points.

England are currently the undisputed kings of white ball cricket. They are the defending 50 over and T20 World Cup champions. They completely revolutionized their way of play in all 3 formats of the game under the new coaching setup. They got whitewashed by Australia in their previous ODI series 3-0 right after the T20 World Cup. They leveled the ODI series 1-1 when they hosted South Africa in the mid of 2022. Most of their players are part of the ongoing SA T20 League and ILT20 and are still given availability to represent their National side. Jos Buttler will continue to lead the side in this series. Pace spearhead Jofra Archer returns after a long injury break. Jason Roy keeps his place in the ODI squad whereas the premier player Joe Root hasn’t been included. They are 4th in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League standings with 125 points.
