South Africa vs England Tips
England are already out of the tournament after losing their first two games. South Africa may have already qualified, but a win here will guarantee their progression. I’m backing a Proteas win with Ryan Rickelton to top score.

- South Africa won their last ODI match.
- South Africa won their last ODI match against England.
- South Africa’s Ryan Rickelton scored 100+ runs in his last match.
- England’s Joe Root scored 100+ runs in his last match.
- England have lost their last 2 matches.
Head to Head
South Africa have won three of their last five ODIs against England, including the last game in the 2023 Cricket World Cup by 229 runs.
South Africa Form
South Africa won their opening game of the tournament against Afghanistan by 100+ runs. Their second game, against Australia, was rained out without a ball being bowled.
That puts South Africa on three points and victory over England will secure their play in the semi-final. However, should Australia beat Afghanistan today (game currently being played) then South Africa will qualify regardless of the result against England.
South Africa Team News
I suspect South Africa will pick the same side that featured against Afghanistan, bar the for the inclusion of Heinrich Klaasen. That would mean captain, Temba Bavuma is likely to open.
England Form
England are already out of the Champions trophy after losing their first two games to Australia and Afghanistan.
In the first game, England scored over 300 runs but failed to defend it against Australia. In the second game, England let Afghanistan off the hook at 37-3 batting first and allowed them to score over 300 runs.
Joe Root’s 100+ runs was not enough as England fell short by eight runs in the end.
England Team News
England could give the rest of their squad a run considering that this is a meaningless game for them.
Verdict
Proteas are backed to win with Ryan Rickelton to top score. For England, Joe Root is tipped to score runs.
