SA vs ENG Team Bet:

I have picked a team betting tip from the SA vs ENG match prediction. Have a look.

South Africa to score over 26.5 runs before 1st dismissal

South Africa played their last ODI series back in October against India where they were thrashed by 2-1. The Indian squad are at their best in the recent times that overwhelmed the team. SA could post the scores of 49, 7 and 7 runs before their 1st dismissal in the series. Quinton de Kock and Janneman Malan opened for the team in that series but Malan lost his wickets early in the second and the third game to post those low opening partnerships. However, things changed when the skipper, Temba Bavuma, stepped in to open alongside Quinton de Kock in the ongoing series against England. The duo posted the scores of 61 and 77 runs for the 1st wicket. De Kock scored 37 & 31 runs in the two games whereas Bavuma smashed 39 and 109 runs in those games respectively. De Kock averages at 45.39 in the format but specialises batting in the 1st position (as he holds an average of 52.44 in the position). Bavuma does quite well himself in the ODI format and averages 46.05. The sides last collided in the summer of 2022 in a three match ODI series. However, only two of those games were played in the series where SA scored 35 & 6 runs before their 1st wicket. All these facts come to the conclusion for SA openers to score over our desired target in the SA vs ENG head-to-head encounter. 1XBET offers the odds of 1.832 for SA to score over 26.5 runs before 1st dismissal and you should take it for a heavy payout.
