After a blockbuster ODI series victory, South Africa will now look to seal the T20I series as well when they take on England in the 2nd T20I match of the three-match series in Manchester. England After a frustrating ODI series loss, England is on the verge of losing the T20I series as well. They had a disappointing outing in the first match, which was shortened due to continuous rain interruptions. England were given 69 runs to chase down in just 5 overs, but they were only able to score 54 runs for the loss of five wickets. Jos Buttler was the highest scorer with his 25-run knock. With just two matches remaining, the hosts will be desperate to come back in the series by winning the next game. South Africa South Africa, meanwhile, is moving towards sealing the T20I series as well. Despite the rain interruption, they sealed the first match by 14 runs. While batting first, they posted 97 runs for the loss of 5 wickets, where Aiden Markram, Dewald Brevis and Donovan Ferreira scored 28, 23 and 25* respectively. Later, they restricted England to just 54 in their 5 overs. Rabada took one wicket but Jansen and Bosch took two each.

Players To Watch Out For In ENG vs SA 2nd T20I Match Jos Buttler | ENG: The 35-year-old right-hand batter is one of the best attacking players in this format for the England team. He starts his attack from ball one and goes berserk for a long inning. He was the best batter for the team in the opening T20I match, where he scored 25 runs off just 11 balls. He is one such player to watch out for in this match. Dewald Brevis | SA: Dewald Brevis was the standout performer from the team in the recent Australia series. In three matches, he took the assault and scored 180 runs at a phenomenal average of 90. He scored his first century, scoring an unbeaten 125 runs off just 56 balls. He carried the same in the T20I series in England when he scored a quickfire 23 run knock in the short match.
