South Africa won by four wickets over Bangladesh in their last game, extending their winning streak to four. In their last outing, their opponents got away from losing a wicket on the first ball to score 116/5 and get 74, claiming 2/22 and a good spell of 1/9.

England vs South Africa Prediction
England will win this clash because they have won their last six games. Not only that, but they have also dominated South Africa in the head-to-head games, as they have won four of their last five games. With this, I believe England will advance to the final stage here. My prediction is a win for England, with 1xBet offering odds of 1.60.
