England have emerged as the juggernauts of the limited-overs format and are firm favourites to clinch the upcoming affair. The likes of Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler have been rested for the series. However, the visitors still have the luxury of Jason Roy, Joe Root and skipper Eoin Morgan who possess the ability to change the game on its head.

On the other hand, South Africa will head into the series with their newly-appointed ODI skipper Quinton de Kock who will have a great responsibility in the series. Moreover, the Proteas have as many as five uncapped players in the side and it will be interesting to see how they will perform.
