A three-match One Day International (ODI) series between England and South Africa will begin on Friday, January 27. The Lions’ batting was terrible in their previous ODI series, which ended in a 3-0 loss to Australia. This series is important to the Proteas, who are competing for direct qualification to the World Cup in India this year.
They entered this match having been defeated by Australia in a Test series by a score of 2-0. In ODIs, South Africa is a weak team. Additionally, they are extremely erratic. They won a series against India but lost at home to Bangladesh. It will be crucial for them to win this series against England because they will need to win it to qualify directly for the world cup.
The first one-day international will take place on January 27 (Friday) at Bloemfontein’s Mangaung Oval. The second one-day international will be played on January 29 (Sunday) at Bloemfontein’s Mangaung Oval. The third one-day international will take place on February 1 at Kimberley’s Diamond Oval.
In November 2022, England last played an ODI series against Australia. England suffered a humiliating whitewash in the series, losing 3-0. The first ODI was won by England by 6 wickets, the second by 72 runs, and the third by 221 runs.
England will attempt to prepare for the ODI World Cup later this year with the assistance of this series. They haven’t done well in this format, especially considering how easily Australia beat them in their previous ODI match. After not playing in the series since 2021, Jofra Archer is making his return.
