SA vs ENG Today Match Prediction :
South Africa will face off England in the first T20 international in Cape Town tonight. South Africa who is going to play their first match since March will look to kick off their home season with a win. On the other hand, England too will be eyeing a winning start and as the T20 World Cup is just ten months away both the sides will look to start their preparation keeping that event in the mind.
Here we are going to discuss strengths and weakness of South Africa as well as of England and will also make our SA vs ENG Today Match Prediction
Strengths :
South Africa’s strength is their all round team as they have a good batting top order as well as good bowling unit. Quinton de Kock, Temba Bavuma, Janneman Malan, Faf du Plessis and David Miller have been doing well in this format at home as well as in international and then the bowling unit of Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi and Tabraiz Shamsi is quite good and the pace trio will test England batsmen with their high pace.
On the other hand, England’s strength is their batting unit of Jason Roy, Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Eoin Morgan and Dawid Malan who all are match winners and prefer attacking cricket and then the bowling unit of Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid and Chris Jordan is in fine form.
Weaknesses :
South Africa’s weakness is their lower order as they don’t have a good finisher and neither they do have some fine all rounders of this format so they don’t have depth in the batting.
On the other hand, England don’t have much weakness but their bowling attack apart from Jofra Archer, Chris Jordan and Adil Rashid doesn’t look strong.
Here we are going to discuss both South Africa and England’s playing combination and probable playing XIs who will be useful for making SA vs ENG Dream11 Team
South Africa is expected to go with six batsman and five bowlers and all rounder Dwaine Pretorius has been ruled out of the series due to injury. On the other hand, England is expected to go with six batsman, one all rounder and four bowlers.

SA vs ENG Today Match Prediction :
Here we are going to discuss about a few players from both sides who can be very good picks for SA vs ENG Dream 11 Prediction teams
Quinton de Kock : The captain of South Africa is coming with a good IPL season as he smashed 500 plus runs there and against England he averages over 40 with 250 plus runs in this format and given his record and form he is a must pick.
Jos Buttler : He is a very dangerous opener and as an opener he averages over 50 in T20I format and against South Africa he has scored 290 runs at 30 plus and he is also a must pick.
Kagiso Rabada : He did very well in IPL as he picked up 30 wickets there and given his form and wicket taking ability he should be picked as he can pick up 2-3 wickets in his 4 overs.
Ben Stokes : The all rounder was in top form towards the back end of IPL as he smashed a 100 and a 50 and also picked up some wickets so he is also a good pick for fantasy teams as he can bat as well as bowl.
