England and South Africa are all set to clash in the third T20I of the series on Sunday at the Rose Bowl, Southampton starting at 7:00 pm. The series is levelled at 1-1 after South Africa made a terrific comeback in the second match winning the game by 58 runs at Cardiff. Both teams will be eager to win the match and clinch the series on Sunday. England has won the last three series between the two nations and South Africa will be eager to end their winning juggernaut.
England
The home team is coming into this series having lost their previous series against India by 2-1. They’ve had an incredible record so far in the home T20I series post-2015 and would like to continue with their excellent record. England will be desperate to finally see their captain Jos Buttler amongst the runs as he’s been quiet for a long time. The batter has got good starts in the series so far but has failed to capitalise on them. The bowling has been fairly good for the England side with Reece Topley and Richard Gleeson being in terrific form.
Probable Playing XI: Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, David Willey, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Richard Gleeson, Reece Topley
South Africa
South Africa made a terrific comeback in the second T20I at Cardiff. Rilee Rossouw was the star of the show who scored a match-winning 96 off 55 balls. Reeze Hendricks has been in incredible form scoring half-centuries in both the matches so far. The youngster Tristan Stubbs was also impressive with his blistering 72 off 28 balls in the first T20I. On the bowling front, Ngidi has picked up 7 wickets in two matches so far while Andile Phehlukwayo and Tabraiz Shamsi have also been amongst the wickets.
Probable Playing XI: Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Rilee Rossouw, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller (c), Tristan Stubbs, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi
