The second T20I between England (ENG) and South Africa (SA) will be played at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on Thursday, July 28.

England put on a masterclass in the previous game, with the duo of Moeen Ali and Jonny Bairstow coming up with match-winning knocks. The Englishmen will be keen to sustain their newfound momentum and seal their first white-ball home series win of the summer. However, they will come across a resourceful South African side that showed glimpses of their ability in the previous game. The onus will be on Quinton de Kock and Kagiso Rabada to lead the way as South Africa look to level the series with an improved performance. All in all, a cracking game is on the cards at the Sophia Gardens.

ENG vs SA, 2nd T20I

Date and Time: 28th July 2022, 11:00 PM IST

Venue: Sophia Gardens, Cardiff


Pitch Report

The pitch at the Sophia Gardens is likely to be a good one to bat on with there being little help on offer for the pacers early on. The batters should enjoy the bounce and carry off the surface, allowing them to tee off from ball one. There could be some turn available for the spinners, but the dimensions of the ground go against them. Both teams will ideally look to chase, with 170 being a good total at the venue.


Today’s ENG vs SA Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Quinton de Kock: Quinton de Kock has looked in good form over the last week or so, taking on the pacers with aplomb in the powerplay phase. He is known for his remarkable consistency in the shorter formats, with his average reading in excess of 30 in T20Is. Given his form and batting prowess, he should be a must-have in your ENG vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Jason Roy: Jason Roy didn't look in great touch in the previous game, getting out for a 15-ball eight. The English opener has not been in the best of form this English summer, despite having his moments. Capable of coming up with big knocks, Roy is due for one and given the conditions on offer, he could be a good addition to your ENG vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.

All-rounder

Moeen Ali: Moeen Ali is a handy player to have in your ENG vs SA Dream11 fantasy team and for good reason. Moeen is a good player of spin, something that will come into play in the middle overs. With his recent form also being decent, Moeen could be backed to put in a good performance today.

Bowler

Kagiso Rabada: Kagiso Rabada looked good in his first match of the tour, using his raw pace and ability to swing the new ball well. The South African pacer is an elite bowler who is effective across all phases of an innings. With his experience of the English conditions bound to come in handy, he is one to watch out for in this game.
