Can England finish ODI rut with sequence on the road?

Big image: Can England bounce again on sticky Bloemfontein floor?

South Africa ticked an necessary field of their bid to robotically qualify for the 2023 World Cup with victory within the first ODI on Friday night time. Even in the event that they go on to lose the sequence, that one win is sufficient to hold their hopes of ending within the World Cup Super League high eight alive.
