Eng vs SA: The T20 series between England and South Africa kicks off tomorrow and will see two stalwarts of the format, hoping to pick up the slack in their own momentum. South Africa would be a more confident team after rain played spoilsport in the final ODI, handing the series one game apiece to both sides.
However, results in the game’s longest format won’t really matter, as the whole dynamic changes when it comes to the game’s most demanding format with an ever-changing mood that would see the needle oscillate with each passing second.
England’s last T20 series was against India and a new look Three Lions couldn’t quite resist the formidable visitors and barely scratched the skin of their teeth as they saved the redness from a milk of lime.
South Africa, on the contrary, launched an iconic challenge on the hostile shores of India and were poised to land a remarkable series until the hosts completely reversed the trend and ended up sharing the spoils of the contest with the decision maker who gets washed. out.
Both teams come with a series of exciting hard hitters in their ranks. Rassie van der Dussen will be a key part of the traveling Proteas while skipper, David Miller, has recently been at bat as a possessed man. The presence of Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada balances things out in the bowling department as the fiery fast bowling duo can be relentless.
England would rely heavily on Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Jos Buttler and a fledgling Harry Brooks, who was quite impressive against India. Another highlight in the English ranks would be the presence of lanky Reece Topley who shook things up with eye-catching discipline, something that the English ranks were missing for a moment.
