England will take on South Africa in a three-match ODI series that will start on January 27, Friday. The South African side are heading into this fixture on the back of a 2-0 test series defeat against Australia. The Proteas succumbed to a disappointing defeat against Pat Cummins and Co, owing to a below-par performance in the batting as well as the bowling department. They will be hoping to put out a much better performance this time around, especially with the home crowd backing them.

England, on the other hand, would be high in confidence after completing a 3-0 clean sweep against Pakistan in their last Test series. The English side will be hoping to kickstart 2023 with a bang, putting up a positive result on the board. The reigning World Champions did lose to Australia in their last ODI Series but largely fielded a second-string squad in a bid to give their core players some rest.
