🌦️ Pitch & Weather Report

Old Trafford generally favors batters, but with overcast skies and rain around, seam bowlers are likely to get assistance early on.

Spinners could come into play in the middle overs if the surface gets dry.

Captains may prefer chasing under possible rain interruptions.

🔍 Match Strategies

England: Need a strong start from Salt and Buttler. Brook’s captaincy will be tested after the first defeat. Their bowlers, especially Archer and Rashid, must control South Africa’s middle order.

South Africa: Momentum is with them. Markram’s leadership and Brevis’s explosive hitting will be key. Rabada and Jansen provide both pace and bounce, crucial under cloudy conditions.


Who Has the Edge?

South Africa look confident after the first win and with a well-balanced squad, they are slightly ahead.

England at home can’t be underestimated — if their top order fires, they can level the series 1–1.
