Harry Brook’s England cricket team will look to continue their winning streak in ODI cricket when they take on Temba Bavuma-led South Africa in a three-match series beginning at the Headingley in Leeds on Tuesday. World Test Champions South Africa are coming into this ODI series with an impressive 2-1 series win over world ODI champions Australia and will not be push-overs by any means.
In-form Test wicketkeeper Jamie Smith will be opening the batting with Ben Duckett, who has quickly become all-format player for England. The home side will be handing the debut cap to 22-year-old pace bowler Sonny Baker, who will open the bowling with Jofra Archer in this match.
South Africans will be full of confidence ahead of the series opener with Matthew Breetzke looking to continue his golden run in ODI cricket. Pacer Kagiso Rabada is yet to recover from an ankle inflammation and RCB fast bowler Lungi Ngidi will lead the attack along side Nandre Burger and Corbin Bosch in the first match.
England skipper Brook is enjoying a great start to his white-ball captaincy stint. After his first eight ODI games as captain, Brook has the best average by an England captain in this format – 73.83. However, the last time England won a bilateral ODI series against South Africa was back in 2017.
