South Africa Vs England Prediction 6/12/20

There is a slight makeshift look about England, and Eoin Morgan has made it clear that the 50 Over side is currently a way into the T20 squad. Suggesting the the ODI team is currently less important.

With this in mind backing England should come with a slight caveat.

But South Africa are without the injured Kasigo Rabada and they have also rested Faf du Plessis, so they also have a makeshift look about them.

Prediction – England to win @ 4/9 with Betfair

All-in-all, it’s hard to see past England though. They have the pedigree, and they are just in a different place to South Africa at the moment.

The hosts do have the talent to trouble England, but I can’t see any reason not to back Morgan’s side.
