With the series tied at 1-1, England and South Africa will lock horns with each other in the third and final T20I on Sunday (July 31) at the Rose Bowl in Southampton. England won the first T20I with a bang in Bristol on Wednesday, while South Africa returned the favour in Cardiff on Thursday. Both teams will look to fire all guns to win the series and get their team combinations right ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia later this year.
Both the games have produced high scores with bowlers having a tough time to get under the skins of the batters. They will hope to produce some substance in the final game and play an integral role in the series decider. England and South Africa have some quality bowlers in their ranks who can turn the game on its head single-handedly.
