The Proteas have had fair success thus far in the South Africa Tour of England. They clinched the three-match T20I series 2-1 after the ODI series was drawn 1-1 as the decider was called off due to rain.
South Africa won the first ODI match by 62 runs after setting their highest team total in the ODIs in England. Due to rain, the second One-Day International was shortened to 29 overs per side, with England winning by 118 runs. South Africa’s joint-lowest total against England in an ODI was reached when they were bowled out for 83 runs. After only 27.4 overs of play, the third one-day international ended in a no result, and the series was leveled 1-1.
England won the opening T20I by 41 runs, with Moeen Ali scoring the fastest fifty for England in the format, and the team making their second-highest total in a T20I match. South Africa won the second T20I by 58 runs to level the series, with Rilee Rossouw scoring 96 not out. South Africa won the third T20I by 90 runs to win the series 2–1.
The first Test of the three-match Test series will start on August 17 at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground, the second on August 25 at Old Trafford, and the third and final Test on September 8 at the Oval.
