After a gruelling Test season, England host South Africa for a white-ball series that features three ODIs and as many T20Is, starting from September 2 onwards. While the Proteas have had a taste of white-ball cricket with their T20I and ODI series against Australia, this will be England's first assignment post the 2-2 drawn Test series against India at home. While the ODIs start first with the other two on September 4 and 7, the T20I matches are scheduled to be held on September 10, 12, and 14.
The teams will be hoping to put in their best performance in the upcoming series, and the three T20I matches could also go on to be good preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup next year.
It is worth noting that South Africa will be coming into the series on the back of impressive wins against Australia, and they will be hoping to maintain their momentum. On the other hand, England have not played white-ball cricket in two months, and they will aim to get on track ahead of the upcoming assignments.
