As far as the results of the last five ENG vs SA ODI matches are concerned, it is South Africa that has the edge with four wins as compared to England's one.
The Rose Bowl, the venue for the upcoming ENG vs SA match, has also hosted a couple of ODI matches involving the two teams, with both sides winning one game each.
The first ENG vs SA match at this venue was played in 2012, where South Africa cruised to a comfortable 80-run win. England vs South Africa second ODI game was a cracker of a contest as England piped South Africa to win by two runs in 2017.
A lot of water has flown under the bridge since then, with England winning their maiden ODI World Cup and South Africa their first ICC title of this millennium.
As far as the form of both teams goes, it has also seen a massive change, with South Africa currently on a winning streak in ODI cricket, while England is struggling to identify the right combination in this format.
The last few months have witnessed South Africa winning the WTC title, an ODI series in Australia, followed by a series win in England.
England, on the other hand, hadn't played ODI cricket since June this year, before the two ODIs against South Africa, which was clearly visible in the team's lackluster performance in the series opener.
Having said that, the Harry Brook-led side was far better in the next game and lost it by just five runs, but would be confident of getting one over South Africa in the last match.
South Africa, on the other hand, would look to replicate the performance that the Temba Bavuma-led side delivered in the first two matches.
