England vs. South Africa, 2nd ODI Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details
England and South Africa are set to lock horns in the second game of the three-match ODI series on Friday, July 22, at Old Trafford in Manchester.
South Africa, led by Keshav Maharaj, have made an incredible start to their campaign after winning the opening match on Tuesday (July 19) by 62 runs at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street. Subsequently, they also took a crucial 1-0 lead in the series.
After opting to bat first, the Proteas racked up a massive score of 333 for five on the back of Rassie van der Dussen's 117-ball knock of 133 laced with 10 fours. Janneman Malan and Aiden Markram lent Van der Dussen their support by scoring half-centuries.
Liam Livingstone was the pick of the English bowlers with the wickets of Markram and Van der Dussen. Sam Curran, Moeen Ali and Brydon Carse picked up one wicket apiece. Ben Stokes conceded 44 runs off five wicketless overs in his last ODI for England.
England made a decent start in their run-chase, but after an opening-wicket stand of 102 between Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow, things went awry for the home team. Joe Root scored 86, but the Englishmen were shot out for 271 in 46.5 overs.

England vs. South Africa Match Prediction
After Eoin Morgan stepped down, Ben Stokes also quit ODI cricket. The hosts' top-order is pretty strong, but their middle-order has been rusty of late. Their bowling hasn't been up to the mark either in recent times. The Proteas will go into the next match as favorites.
