ENG vs SA 2nd ODI Predictions and Betting Tips

England will lock horns with South Africa in the second ODI on Friday (July 22). The match will be played at Old Trafford, Manchester on July 22. I have picked the best team and player bets for the ENG vs SA match predictions for you to choose from. Let us have a look at them.

South Africa comfortably won the first ODI by 62 runs as Ben Stokes was denied a victory in his last ODI. Rassie van der Dussen's impeccable hundred took the visitors to a comfortable win. England will now look to make a comeback in the second ODI and try to level the series 1-1. The pitch out here is good for batting. It also contains a good amount of bounce for pacers. 28 of the 55 ODI matches have been won by chasing teams. I have brought you the best betting tips in the market and you should take a look at the best betting tips for the ENG vs SA match predictions.

ENG vs SA Team Bets:

Let’s have a look at the ENG vs SA team bets.

South Africa to win

England yet again failed to put up a good show with the bat in hand. Although Johnny Bairstow and Joe Root scored fifties, they lacked support from the other end. Root and Bairstow could also not score hundreds and carry the team to the finish line. England lost the first ODI vs SA by 62 runs by failing to chase SA’s total of 333 runs. England are already demotivated by the series loss against India. They lost the ODI series by 2-1 vs IND. The batters have been inconsistent and lost their wicket too early into the match. On the other hand, South Africa managed to tick a lot of boxes. The biggest positive from the first ODI was the form of Aiden Markram. The right-hand batter finally played according to the situation and helped South Africa post a total in excess of 330. The bowlers later did the job with Anrich Nortje taking four wickets. Rassive van der Dussen yet again showed his class with a superb third ODI century. South Africa would now be eager to continue with the same momentum and seal the ODI series in the second match. Since 2020, the sides have played three games against each other where the South African side lead the tally by 2-1. We suggest you pick the odds of 2.38 for SA to win the ENG vs SA head-to-head match for a heavy cashout.

ENG vs SA Player Bets:

I have picked the best money making player betting tips from the ENG vs SA match prediction.

Jonny Bairstow to score over 37.5 runs

Jonny Bairstow, the son of the former England wicketkeeper David Bairstow, is a combative wicketkeeper-batter who has become a cricketer to be reckoned with in England's middle order. Bairstow has an experience of 85 ODIs where he has amassed 3606 runs at an average of 46.83. This looks particularly optimistic with respect to our betting tip. Bairstow, the 32-year-old, has 11 hundreds and 15 fifties to his name. He was expected to bat fiercely in the series against India but he could post the scores of 7, 38 and 0 runs in three games. After an abysmal series, he went on to prove his batting potential in the first ODI against SA, where he smashed 63 runs off 71 balls, laced with 7 boundaries. This is no surprise as the batter has a bright track record playing against the Proteas. He has played 7 games vs SA and managed to register 205 runs in those innings at an average of 34.16. This is slightly below our target but considering his current form, there is a good chance for the batter to score well in the ENG vs SA head-to-head contest. Head over to 1XBET to capitalise on the odds of 1.832 for Jonny Bairstow to score over 37.5 runs.

Hendrik van der Dussen to smash over 34.5 runs

The 33 year old batter made his ODI debut in 2019 and has exploited every opportunity he had in the South African squad. A naturally attacking batsman, van der Dussen has also been able to translate his talents into long-format cricket and was top-scorer in South Africa's first-class domestic competition in 2017-18, as well as being Lions' vice-captain. His batting numbers will do the talking and convince you to pick this betting tip from the ENG vs SA match prediction. He has played a total of 36 ODIs till date where he mustered 1499 runs at a high average of 74.95, laced with 3 centuries and 11 half-ones. He is recently coming from a series against India where he batted exceptionally and posted the scores of 129*, 37* and 52 runs in three games. From averaging at 57.00 in 2021 to 112.50 in 2022, he has significantly improved upon his batting which is quite evident on the pitch. He has played 5 games against England and scored 227 runs at an average of 75.66. In the first ODI match of the series, he played a knock of 134 runs off 117 balls, which eventually made him the Man of the Match. This said, it is a no brainer in terms of picking the best batting prospect from the team. 1XBET offers the odds of 1.86 for van der Dussen to score over 34.5 runs and you should pick it to win a bonus!
