England: After scoring England's fastest T20I ton, Phil Salt will be confident and will hope to cash in on his rich form to take his team to win.
South Africa: Aiden Markram is the only batter that has shown form in both matches. Being a captain, he will have a big responsibility on his shoulders.
ENG vs SA: Probable Best Bowler
England: Marco Jansen's role will be very important. If he can get some early wickets with his swing, he can change the game.
South Africa: Jofra Archer bowled a match-winning spell in the second game and made the difference. He is bowling in good rhythm and can bowl another impactful spell.
England vs South Africa Today’s Match Prediction: England will come out in their own way of playing. The way they dealt with the bowler, they will be looking to put the opposition under more pressure. England have all the odds in their favor. Their bowlers executed the plans, and playing so much T20 cricket helped them as well.
South Africa's bowling has been hit because of the couple of injuries. They need their opening bowlers to do the job. Batting-wise as well, England are ahead of South Africa. That is why the English team are slight favorites to get the win on Sunday.
