South Africa vs England 2019-20: Complete schedule, when and where to watch, live streaming and telecast details
South Africa is not an easy place for touring teams, but England’s performance there in red-ball cricket has been commendable over the years. They have won many more Test matches than they have lost in that part of the world.
Out of the 81 Test matches that England have played in South Africa, they have won 31 and have lost only 19, while the rest 31 have been drawn. To remain undefeated in 62 out of the 81 Test matches in South African conditions is an outstanding feat for any team in the world.
The reason why the England team thrives on South African pitches is because those pitches are conducive to seam bowling, and England have got some world-class seam bowlers in their ranks. Even the last time when England had toured South Africa in 2015-16, they won the Test series 2-1 and Stuart Broad was the pick of the bowlers for them.
Broad was in great rhythm in the Ashes series as well earlier this year, and he is again going to be England’s trump card in the upcoming Test series.
Although England have largely dominated in South Africa in Test cricket, the same can’t be said about their performance in white-ball cricket. They have struggled in the limited-overs formats of the game in the rainbow nation.
England have lost 17 out of the 27 ODIs and four out of the five T20Is they have played in South Africa so far, which doesn’t make good reading for the English fans. England are arguably the best white-ball team in the world at the moment, and they will be keen to improve their record in ODI and T20I cricket in South Africa.
