Bottom Line

Two months long, South Africa’s England tour will end with the third Test at the Oval in September. The last match of the England vs South Series 2022 could be the most exciting one as the Proteas Test team is doing well in the ongoing ICC’s Test Championship 2021-2023, leading the points standings with 71.43 percent. South Africa will be eager to win the Test series, but England’s recent form in the longer-version format has been outstanding. Therefore, a tightly-contested Test series is expected between England and South Africa. Two limited-overs series also promise to be an exciting affair as both teams have some of the world’s best players.
