SA vs ENG Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11, Player Stats, Pitch Report for 3rd ODI

The third ODI between England (ENG) and South Africa (SA) will take place at the Diamond Oval in Kimberly on Wednesday, February 1. Ahead of the match, here's everything you need to know about the SA vs ENG Dream11 prediction.

South Africa have been the better side in the series with the likes of Temba Bavuma and Anrich Nortje standing out with the bat and ball, respectively. Although they have already wrapped up the series, the Proteas will look to end the series with a win and add to their points tally in the ICC Super League.

However, the English are no pushovers and will be keen to add some respectability to the series scoreline. The onus will be on captain Jos Buttler and the bowling attack to step up and arrest a form slump in the ODI format. With both teams looking well-matched on paper, a cracker of a game beckons in Kimberly.
