SA vs ENG Betting Tips: The final encounter of the three-match One-Day International series between South Africa and England will occur on 1st February. The Diamond Oval of Kimberley will host the virtual dead rubber, scheduled to get underway at 1 PM local (4:30 PM Indian Time).

PITCH REPORT: Diamond Oval

Diamond Oval, previously known as De Beers Diamond Oval, is a little-known multi-sport venue in the city of Kimberley. The stadium hallmarks a decent crowd capacity, equal ground dimensions and a balanced pitch. Both batters and bowlers will remain dominant throughout the course of the game.

TOSS PREDICTION:

Hosts South Africa won the toss in both the first two games of the series, opting to bat and bowl in the 1st and 2nd games respectively. There is uncertainty over the surface of Diamond Oval and hence teams would prefer to ball first in order to see how the pitch plays out. Rely on England’s skipper Jos Buttler to make a correct call at the crucial toss.

TOP 5 SA vs ENG BETTING TIPS:

1. Result after first 15 overs: W England

Considering the firepower in top orders, England is likely to outscore South Africa after the first 15 overs. England features the likes of Jason Roy, Dawid Malan, and Ben Duckett as their top three, who are known for their aggressive style of play, The Proteas on the other hand play a conventional brand of Cricket upfront.

2. Temba Bavuma will win the match-up with Quinton De Kock

The long-standing white-ball skipper of South Africa made a remarkable comeback in the last game after an extensive lean patch. Bavuma starred for the home side with a mammoth 109-run knock while chasing a big total of 347 in Bloemfontein. He was further named as the player of the match for his decisive contribution.

3. Jos Buttler to score a half-century

Batting at the challenging fifth position, the wicketkeeper top scored for England in the last game. Buttler played a quickfire inning worth 94 runs off just 82 deliveries, remaining unbeaten. He has had a great run in international Cricket after being handed over England’s white-ball captaincy last year.

4. The total wickets in the match will be over 14.5

Even though the first two games of the series ended up as high-scoring affairs, multiple wickets were witnessed. Both the teams feature formidable bowling lineups, which are potent to put up performances regardless of the conditions. We expect at least 15 dismissals in Wednesday’s fixture.

5. Sam Curran will be England’s top bowler

Curran has emerged as England’s pick of the bowlers in the last few months in limited-overs Cricket. The Southpaw was named as the player of the tournament in the recently-concluded T20 World Cup 2022. Moreover, he has managed to take four wickets so far in the ongoing ODI series.

SA vs ENG FINAL VERDICT:

The high-octane encounter on Wednesday is a dead rubber affair, however, both teams will be fully committed to registering a triumph. Depend on Jos Buttler-led England to achieve a win and conclude the series on a respectable note. The visitors are on a five-match losing streak in One-Day Internationals, and would now be hungrier than ever to produce results.
