England Preview

England enter this series after a tough 1-2 loss to South Africa in the ODI series. The Three Lions are now looking for a quick revenge against the Proteas. While the hosts might have lost the series, there were a lot of positivities in the last game with England’s huge 342-run win showing they still have that bowling strength they are known for. Interestingly, England are a good side when it comes to T20Is due to their aggressive style of play. However, their T20Is three straight losses against South Africa posssess a lot of concerns in this series, but with the fans in their side, they should be strong and get the job done. They have a good record at home, having won seven of their last eight T20 home games.
