South Africa vs. England ODI Cricket Match in Cape Town

The One Day International component of England’s big tour is about to get underway

After a sketchy start to the England test cricket match series, the Proteas have to pull out all the stops for the One Day International (ODI) component of the Brits’ tour. There are five ODI games scheduled between the two titans, one of which will take place at PPC Newlands Cricket Ground on Sunday, 14 February 2016. For more information on the cricket matches, phone +27 (0)11 880 2810. 

The Proteas didn’t get off to the best start in the test series against England, with the guests winning the first game in Durban by 241 runs. Next, the two teams took to Newlands – an opportunity for the Proteas to settle the score – but the superhuman and multi-record smashing batting performance by England’s Ben Stokes put the visitors in the lead. Stokes made 258 runs off 198 balls, with a staggering 30 fours and 11 sixes – the highest score for England in South Africa, the second fastest test double century in history, and the first England batsman in 50 years to score a test century at Newlands.

With statistics like that, and team morale at a high, England are certainly going to be a challenging opponent going forward. That being said, the Proteas are one of the world’s best ODI teams and with a different format comes different players and team dynamics. So let’s get behind our boys and bring the Protea fire to Newlands.
