South Africa will take on England in the 1st ODI of the 3-match series at the Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein, on Friday (27 January) afternoon.
With the ODI World Cup 9 months away, South Africa are yet to book their place in the mega event. They are currently 11th in the ODI Super League points table, three places below the automatic qualification spot. South Africa needs at least three wins from their remaining five matches.
On the other hand, current ODI champions England are fourth in the standings and have already qualified for the showpiece tournament. The biggest positive for them in this series will be the return of pacers J. Archer and R. Topley after long injury layoffs.
