England VS South Africa 3rd T20-Pitch Report
Looking at the history, teams batting first have completely shut out the opposition. The Rose Bowl stadium, with its short boundary and batting-friendly surface, should be another belter of a wicket for the batters. In terms of bowlers, three of the top five wicket-takers at this venue are spinners, so they should have some help. The team that wins the toss has always preferred to bat.
Possible Playing XIs:
England: Jos Buttler (captain), Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Sam Curran, Moeen Ali, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Richard Gleeson, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley
South Africa: David Miller (captain), Quinton de Kock, Tristan Stubbs, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Reeza Hendricks, Keshav Maharaj, Heinrich Klaasen, Rilee Rossouw, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi
