ENG vs SA Dream11 Prediction With Stats, Pitch Report & Player Record of South Africa tour of England, 2022 For 2nd Test
ENG vs SA Dream11 Prediction, 2nd Test: South Africa took less than three days to defeat England in the opening Test.
ENG vs SA: England will lock horns against South Africa in the 2nd Test of the South Africa tour of England, 2022 on Thursday, August 25, 2022, at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester.
After suffering a humiliating loss at the hands of South Africa in the opening Test at Lord’s, the Three Lions would be eager to roar back again and level the three-match Test series in the second test on August 25 at Old Trafford.
Talking about the first Test, England’s batting looked far from the best as besides Ollie Pope’s 73, no other batter could surpass the 20-run mark in the first innings.
Former skippers Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow will be looking to bounce back stronger in this game. On the bowling front, the inclusion of Sussex bowler Ollie Robinson will further aid them.
South Africa, on the other hand, will be keen to continue their onslaught and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series in Manchester.
For the visitors, skipper Dean Elgar, Sarel Erwee, and Keegan Peterson will hold the impetus. While with the ball, Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen, and Anrich Nortje will be eager to replicate their Lord’s performance at Old Trafford.
Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for the 2nd Test of the South Africa tour of England, 2022.
