[Saba Sports News] England will clash with South Africa in the 20th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on October 21 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
Having won only one of their three games, England are in the middle of the points table.
They started off as one of the favourites to win the tournament but another defeat from here could prove to be fatal for them.
They have come down to a position that most of the non-England pundits are not giving them any chance. More so because they are coming off a massive loss to Afghanistan.
The only silver lining for them is the return of Ben Stokes. The all-rounder, who now plays as a batter, has recovered from the hip injury.
The English Talisman will come with a hope that he leads the change in fortunes for his team. He has done that in the past and the same is expected from him this time as well.
On the other hand, South Africa too are not sitting very pretty. They sustained an upset as the Netherlands crushed them to bits recently.
To put into perspective, England versus South Africa is going to be a battle between two wounded lions. Both of them are hungry. Let’s wait and see who eats who.
