England vs South Africa Odds
England take on South Africa in the Cricket World Cup. This will be England’s fourth match of the tournament; you can find out latest Cricket World Cup odds here.
Both teams enter this match on the back of shock defeats as England were deservedly beaten by Afghanistan whilst South Africa fell to the Netherlands.
England’s performance in their warm-up match was not inspiring and the lacklustre effort has carried over in to the World Cup. Defeats to both New Zealand and Afghanistan have England shook and sitting outside of the coveted top four.
Typically, England’s white-ball game is spearheaded by their dominant batting. Unfortunately key players like Jos Buttler have underperformed so far, scoring just nine in his last outing.
South Africa’s defeat to the Netherlands ended their unbeaten start to the World Cup becoming the first test nation since 2015 to lose to an associate nation in an ODI.
Despite their loss to the part-time side, South Africa were producing good performances in their opening two games.
With this in mind, as well as England’s poor form pre and post Cricket World Cup, we believe the Proteas will overcome Brendon McCullum’s men in India.
