SA
South Africa need to sharpen things up
The Proteas did all the good work, restricting England to 119/4 in the first T20I, however, they let things slip at the death. Quinton De Kock could call Anrich Nortje for the clash on Sunday in place of Beuran Hendricks, who gave away a whopping 56 runs. SA's middle order also needs to go the extra mile and support Faf Du Plessis.
England
England have the desired depth to come out on top
England have plenty of depth in their ranks and this was visible in the first encounter. Despite a failure from their top order, the side had players taking up responsibility and getting the chase sorted. Sam Curran was excellent with the ball and he will be their prime asset as a leading all-rounder. England will hope to get the job done convincingly.
