Series: England tour of South Africa, 2023
South Africa vs England, 2nd ODI 29th January 1.30pm
Venue: Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein
After losing the first One-Day International on Sunday, England will look to level the series when they face South Africa on Sunday.
Just like the first ODI, the match will be held at the Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein, where the hosts will have the chance to win the three-match series with a game to spare.
The series has taken on greater importance for South Africa, who need to complete a series whitewash and win two ODIs against the Netherlands in March and April
if they are to automatically qualify for the World Cup, which takes place in India later this year.
Following their victory in the ODI, South Africa may decide that their best path for another win on Sunday is to go with the same side.
As for the tourists, Jofra Archer made his long-awaited comeback from injury to feature in the first ODI, picking up one wicket from an expensive 10 overs that cost 81 runs,
and having only returned to action, England may decide against playing him for the second time in three days.
Sam Curran starred with the ball for England, finishing with 3-35, and while the left-arm seamer will retain his place in the side, Reece Topley and Chris Woakes
are waiting in the wings should England decide to rotate their bowling attack.
In regards to the batting lineup, Phil Salt could be brought into the side, which could see Ben Duckett or Harry Brook make way.
