David Miller-led South Africa were completely overpowered by England in the first T20I. The Proteas will be eyeing a comeback in the second game of the three-match series. The visitors would want to ensure that they remain a force to be reckoned with and keep the third match interesting with a win in the second.
The England vs South Africa second T20I will be held at Cardiff’s Sophia Gardens on 28 July at 11 pm IST. The fixture promises some fireworks as both teams will be keen to have the upper hand and also finalise their winning combinations before the T20 World Cup later this year.
The Proteas will be aiming to keep alive their hopes of a series win. The visitors lost out to England by 41 runs, even though Reeza Hendricks and newcomer Tristan Stubbs put up a spirited fight. Skipper David Miller will have to figure out how to utilise the pitch at Cardiff well to ensure a win for his unit.
As for Jos Buttler, the England captain will be flying high on his team’s victory. He will be eager to win the series in the second clash itself to avoid any chances of a final showdown.
