ENG vs SA Dream11 Prediction: England vs South Africa 2nd T20I fantasy tips & playing XI

The England cricket team is up against South Africa in the 2nd T20I of the ongoing three-match series on Thursday night at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, United Kingdom. The home side heads into the match eyeing an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, having earned a 1-0 lead after winning the high-scoring series opener by 41 runs. After losing the toss to South Africa, England were asked to bat first, a decision that paved way for England’s win in the match.

Batting first, England reached the mammoth first innings total of 234/6, courtesy of a 53-ball knock of 90 runs by Jonny Bairstow and a 52 runs knock in 18 balls for Moeen Ali. While Dawid Malan contributed with 43 runs in 23 balls, Proteas pacer Lungi Ngidi returned with the best figures of 5/39 for the visitors. All the other South African bowlers failed to make a mark and were subject to heavy bashing around the stadium by the English batters.

Meanwhile, in the 2nd innings of the match, South Africa replied to the challenge with a strong batting performance but fell 41 runs short of England’s total. South Africa were restricted to 193/8, despite half-centuries by Tritan Stubbs and Reeza Hendricks.
