England couldn’t clinch the T20 series in Cardiff and so the battle moves to Southampton for a series decider. The Rose Bowl pitch is usually great for batting and we might be in for more 200 plus scores.
England vs South Africa | 31 July 2022 | Rose Bowl, Southampton | 15:30
To Win Match
England 62/100 | Tie 25/1 | South Africa 27/20
England
England had their momentum snapped by an aggressive Proteas outfit who fought for all they were worth.
Jos Buttler is still chasing a first series win as England white-ball skipper and a big innings against the Proteas.
Chris Jordan has proven to be a key player for England time and again but the Proteas found some success against him last time out.
Adil Rashid is another dangerous man who could derail the South African attempts to match the Three Lions firepower.
South Africa
Rilee Rossouw was on song in Cardiff but might also feel he has unfinished business after falling short of a maiden T20I century.
Lungi Ngidi has made a big impact in this series with Anrich Nortje rested while Kagiso Rabada is due a performance in this format.
The left and right combinations are important to South Africa and will mean that they have a changeable batting order.
Fielding will continue to be significant for the tourists who dropped four catches in the opener, but improved significantly in the second match.
Verdict: England 62/100
England might have too much on a Rose Bowl belter.
