England will be aiming to dominate South Africa in the three-match ODI series after achieving a 3-0 whitewash in the Twenty20 Internationals.

The South Africa vs England ODI series began on a dramatic note when the first ODI in Cape Town was postponed due to the coronavirus scare in the South Africa camp. One of the players tested positive and the match could not go ahead. Thus, the first ODI will now be played in Boland Park, Paarl and then the final two games will take place in the bubble in Cape Town. The Twenty20 Internationals were all held in Cape Town and England managed to secure a brilliant 3-0 sweep thanks to the efforts of Dawid Malan.
Heading into the ODIs, South Africa and England will be aiming to put up a much closer fight. England have held the edge over South Africa in the last couple of years across formats but the Proteas will be desperate to reverse the tide. With Faf du Plessis out and Kagiso Rabada not in the team, they face an uphill task against the No.1 white-ball team in the world.
