ENG Key Players
England have tremendous batting depth and the likes of Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler have all been in fine form.
Jason Roy cracked an unbeaten 46-ball 89 in the previous warm-up match against Afghanistan while Jos Buttler smashed a half-century earlier against a quality bowling attack of Australia.
Eoin Morgan is the leading ODI run-getter at the Kennington Oval with 573 runs at an average of 57.30 and the skipper could play a big knock here.
Chris Woakes, Liam Plunkett and Jofra Archer are the key figures for England in terms of bowling. Chris Woakes will be the biggest threat of all and it will be up to him to provide the early breakthroughs with the new ball.
Jofra Archer has been very impressive in international crciket and he is likely to open England’s bowling attack.
Liam Plunkett has 10 wickets at this ground in 7 ODIs including a four-fer and he will be expected to provide good support to Archer and Woakes. The offspin-legspin combination of Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid will be the one to watch out for in the middle overs.
SA Key Players
Hashim Amla’s return to form will bring some relief in the South African camp. The opener has now hit successive fifties – 65 against Sri Lanka and 51* against Afghanistan – in the warm-up matches.
He even has an ODI century at this ground and there is a good chance of him scoring big on this flat batting surface. Quinton de Kock and skipper Faf du Plessis are two other in-form batsmen in this line-up.
Faf du Plessis scored 88 against Sri Lanka and he will be expected to play another match-winning innings. South Africa’s bowling attack comprising Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi and Imran Tahir is one of the best in the world.
Rabada with his searing pace will be threatening with the new ball, and in the absence of Dale Steyn, it will be mainly up to him to rattle England’s top-order.
Imran Tahir is fourth in the ICC ODI bowling rankings and his leg-breaks could cause a few problems for the home team during the middle period of their innings.

ENG vs SA Head to Head
England and South Africa have played 56 completed one-day internationals against each other. The former have won 26 of those and the latter 29 while one of those encounters had resulted in a tie.
The two countries have faced each other six times at the Kennington Oval in the game’s 50-over format with the scoreline 4-2 in favor of the hosts. England registered a comfortable seven-wicket win in their most recent clash against the Proteas at this venue – in the semi-final of the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy.
