After a convincing win in the first T20I in Bristol, England and South Africa will lock horns with each other in the second T20I on Thursday (July 28) at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. It was a run fest in the series opener, with over 400 runs being scored. England scored a record 234 runs batting first, before restricting the Proteas to 193 to win the game by 41 runs.

England will look to keep the momentum going in the next match and wrap up the series. They fired in unison in the first match with Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali firing all cylinders with the bat. Adil Rashid and Reece Topley starred with the ball for England.

South Africa, on the other hand, will look to work on their bowling ahead of the second game against England. They will take a lot of positive from their batters ahead of second game and come out all guns blazing.


Match Details

2nd T20I – England (ENG) vs South Africa (SA)

Venue – Sophia Gardens, Cardiff

Date & Time: July 28 at 11:00 PM IST and 6:30 PM Local Time


Pitch Report

The pitch at the Sophia Gardens is likely to be a good one to bat on with there being little help on offer for the pacers early on. The batters should enjoy the bounce and carry off the surface, allowing them to tee off from ball one.

There could be some turn available for the spinners, but the dimensions of the ground go against them. Both teams will ideally look to chase, with 170 being a good total at the venue.
