After a grim performance in the limited overs format against India, England will be hoping for a turn of events as they are all set to host South Africa for an all-format series starting with a 3-match ODI series from the 19th of July, 2022. It’s been a long time since South Africa has been involved in an ODI series. They last played against Bangladesh in March where they lost 2-1. Both the teams are not at their best at present and therefore would be desperate to change their fortunes and get a series win under their belt. Now let’s have a look at ENG vs SA Dream11 Prediction.
This multi-format series will see a total of 9 matches with 3 matches of each format to be played respectively. Beginning with the ODI series, T20Is and Tests are to follow. The first ODI will be played at Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street and it is scheduled to begin at 5:30 pm IST.

ENG vs SA: Riverside Ground, Pitch Report, and Weather Forecast-
The surface at this ground tends to be pretty much neutral for both the batters and the bowlers. Batters shouldn’t hurry on this pitch and must give themselves some time before they want to hit it out of the park. On the other hand, bowlers do get some help from the pitch and can chip in a few wickets if they bowl in the right areas. The average first Innings score is just around 245.
We are in for a full 100-over match as the weather seems pleasant. There are no chances of rain and a good sunny day is expected which makes for a good day for a game of cricket. The temperature will range between 32-35 degrees Celsius with the wind speed just around 20 km/h.
Injury Update:
South Africa’s white-ball skipper Tenda Bavuma is not part of the England tour due to the elbow injury which he suffered in the T20I series against India and therefore Keshav Maharaj will be leading the side in his absence in the white-ball series.
ENG vs SA Head to Head Records:
Both the teams have been involved in a total of 63 matches against each other out of which England has won 28, South Africa came out victorious in 30, 1 match ended in a tie and the rest 4 ended in no result.

ENG vs SA Dream11 Top Picks:
Adil Rashid
The return of Adil Rashid will be a huge boost for the England side. He has been their best spinner in limited overs for a long time and will be raring to go once again and challenge South Africa’s quality middle order.
Quinton de Kock
The wicket-keeper batsman of South Africa has been consistently scoring runs for his side. There’s no stopping him once he gets going. He has the ability to play all around the ground and can convert those starts into big hundreds which makes him a top pick for this match.
