South Africa clinched the series to prove that they are still strong in bilateral cricket and can be competitive in the World Cup later this year. Beating England home or away in white-ball cricket is enough to put a side on the map, given England’s strength and depth. With one more game to go, they now have a chance to play around with their line-up as they finalize their combination for the World Cup, looking for new options.

SA vs ENG Key Players

Temba Bavuma

Intent and batting form has been an issue for Temba Bavuma in white-ball cricket. He went unsold in the SA20 as well, but remains skipper despite a lot of scrutiny. His ODI record though is a touch better than his T20 record, and that will be an aspect Bavuma will want to use to find more intent.

Jason Roy

Jason Roy was in the spotlight over the last year with his form. He was dropped in between too but finally has some relief with an aggressive century in his own style. He took his chances and found runs after a really long time to get things moving again.
