5 reasons why South Africa will beat England at The Oval

#3 The return of Kagiso Rabada

Rabada would be itching to run in and bowl at The Oval

There is little doubt that Kagiso Rabada is the X-factor in South Africa's bowling line-up. The young Rabada has grown in stature since his debut with consistent performances and precise judgement of game situations.

He has carried a huge burden on his young shoulders with little discomfort emphasizing his maturity. Since his debut in 2015, only Josh Hazlewood has more wickets than him among fast bowlers in Tests, a sign of Rabada's rapid progress in International cricket.

Rabada is a passionate cricketer and the break would have bothered him so much so that he would be itching to lace up and wreck havoc with the red cherry.

England have faced his wrath before, in the series against South Africa where he picked up figures of 13/144 at Centurion. His return also plugs South Africa's only weakness in the bowling attack - giving England little leeway.
