Third ODI will be played between England and South Africa at Headingley in Leeds on Sunday (July 24, 2022).
ENGLAND
England won the second ODI convincingly to level the series 1-1. England were all over SA in the 2nd game and won the match by 118 runs. They made 201 in 29 overs and bundled out South Africa on just 83 runs. Sam Curran performed brilliantly both with bat and ball, while batting he smashed 35 off just 18 balls with 3 sixes and 2 fours and also took a wicket while bowling. Reece Topley and David Willey returned in the second ODI and bowled beautifully. Topley has been impressive since his debut for the England ODI side. Adil Rashid was also among the wickets, he took 3 for 29 in 6 overs. Captain Jos Buttler’s bat has been silent so far. He needs to lead from the front. Jason Roy has not been performing well either. They will hope for a better performance with the bat to win the third and final ODI.
SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa won the first ODI and lost miserably in the second game. Janneman Malan, Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram could not open their accounts in the last game. They were all out on just 83 runs while chasing 201 runs. They need to play better cricket and need to stay patient against England opening bowlers. They get swing from the get go. They will want to up their game if they need to win the last game of the series.
PITCH REPORT:
Headingley pitch offers fair amount of swing and bounce in the early overs. Team will like to bowl first on this pitch. Score of 280+ could be a winning total here. In the previous game here after losing early wickets India chased down 260.
