Match Details
The reigning champions, England, are set to take on South Africa in the second match of the Saturday, October 21, double-header. The match will take place at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, where India beat Sri Lanka in the 2011 World Cup Final to lift the coveted trophy after 28 years.
England have had a curvy season thus far, with only one victory in their account so far. The Proteas, on the flip side, won their first two matches before losing to Netherlands in their third fixture.
Toss Probability
Out of all three fixtures that the Three Lions have played so far in the season, England has come on top in only one toss war. Likewise, the South African skipper won one of the three tosses in their fixtures so far in the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023. However, we think that the toss might favour Jos Buttler, and he will come on top of the toss battle in the forthcoming fixture.
Win Possibility
England and South Africa have faced each other on 69 occasions in the 50-over format. Out of those 69 occasions, England won 30 matches, whereas the Proteas came out victorious on 33 occasions. However, if we look at the forthcoming fixture, we think that the Mumbai pitch will support the English team's aggressive batting approach and place South Africa's bowling department in a weaker position. Hence, we think that the reigning champions will come on top in the forthcoming fixture.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, India will host a total of five matches in the ongoing season of the ODI World Cup. If we have a look at the past matches played at the venue, a total of 23 ODI matches have been played at the iconic stadium. The average first innings score of the stadium is 245.
Considering this, we think the first-inning score in the England vs South Africa match is expected to be around 265-295, while the powerplay score is expected to hover between 50-65.
