The second match of the 3 -match ODI series between England and South Africa was quite exciting. The match between the two teams was played at Lord’s, where South Africa won by 5 runs and finished a long wait. Under the captaincy of Temba Bavuma, South Africa not only defeated England, but also took an unbeatable lead in the series. With this, Temba Bavuma showed the feat that no captain of South Africa could do in the last 27 years.
History created again under the captaincy of Temba Bavuma
In this exciting match played at Lord’s, South Africa batted first and scored a big score of 330 runs in 50 overs. Matthew Breetzke’s brilliant 85 -run innings and his 147 -run partnership with Triston Stabs brought the team to a strong position. In response, the England team was reduced to 325 runs, due to which South Africa won by 5 runs. This victory was also special because this was the first time since 1998 that South Africa won the ODI series in England.
This time, under the captaincy of Temba Bavuma, South Africa’s team managed to end this long wait. Under the captaincy of Temba Bavuma, South Africa recently won the World Test Championship title, which was their first major ICC title in 27 years. A few months later, he has shown a big act on one side. Now Temba’s eye is going to be on making this series a clean sweep.
England’s fourth consecutive defeat
On the other hand, the England team is going through a difficult period at this time. England have won only one of the six ODI series since the 2023 World Cup. At the same time, England’s defeat in this match was his fourth consecutive ODI defeat. England had to face defeat against South Africa in the Champions Trophy 2025 and 2023 before both matches of this series.
