South Africa and England go head to head in the third and final SA vs ENG ODI in Kimberly on February 1. The Proteas have already won the series having won the first two ODIs. They won the first ODI by 27 runs and the second by five wickets. The visitors would look to avoid a whitewash.

South Africa is led by Temba Bavuma while England is led by Jos Buttler. Bavuma finally came back to form after scoring a match-winning century (109 off 102) that laid the platform for the perfect chase. David Miller (58*) and Marcon Jansen (32*) finished it off in the end.

For South Africa, some key players in the squad are Aiden Markram, David Miller, Quinton de Kock, Kagiso Rabada, and Anrich Nortje. For England, some crucial players in the squad are Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, and Dawid Malan.

England have already qualified for the ODI World Cup to be played later this year. South Africa keep their qualification hopes alive with this series win. The Proteas are placed ninth at the moment with seven wins from 18 matches and as many as 9 losses. Sri Lanka, Ireland, Zimbabwe and the Netherlands are below them on the points table. The hosts are in desperate need of points to get a direct qualification in the 2023 World Cup.

South Africa last toured England in 2022 for three ODIs, three T20IS, and three Tests between August and September. The ODI series ended in a 1-1 draw after the third ODI was washed out due to rain. South Africa then won the three-match T20I series 2-1 and England came back to win the Test series 2-1 in what was a memorable series.
