ENG vs SA Prediction 1st ODI, South Africa tour of England 2025: Amid all the international action going on, a great battle is gearing up to get underway. England and South Africa will be taking on each other in three ODIs and as many as T20Is in September. It will begin with the ODI series, and the first game is scheduled to start at 5:30 PM as per Indian Time on Tuesday at Headingley. England played a home series against India, and then they were active in The Hundred 2025.

Most of their players have performed well in the Hundred. So, the form will not be an issue. But the ask will be about how they will play as a unit. South Africa were hammered by Australia in the last ODI, but the Proteas had already won the ODI series before that. So, they will be having mixed feelings. But they have been on point overall and will be looking to carry forward their form in England.

ENG vs SA 1st ODI Pitch Report

Traditionally, the wicket in Leeds is more in favor of the batsmen. The bounce here is very good, and connecting big shots becomes easy. But the weather conditions help the fast bowlers to stay in the game throughout. Bowling first can hand the advantage because of the good bowling conditions early on. Hence, chasing is likely to be the first choice of captains here.

ENG vs SA Today’s Match Prediction?

Both teams have different strengths. England will enter this game with massive firepower with the bat. Most of their batters scored runs in The Hundred 2025, and they will be feeling highly confident. It will be the challenge for their bowling attack.

But South Africa are also a little inexperienced, which might even out the things. However, the experienced bowling unit of the Proteas gives them an easy edge. Especially if they bowl first, they have everything to restrict England. The toss can also be an important factor in the game.

ENG vs SA Prediction: We believe South Africa will win this game.

Who Will win the Toss: Harry Brook (England)
