South Africa tour of England, 2025 , 1st ODI: South Africa vs England, Probable Playing 11, Where To Watch, Live Streaming Details

England (ENG) and South Africa (SA) will meet in the opening ODI of their three-match series at Headingley, Leeds, on Tuesday, September 2. The Proteas begin their white-ball tour of England with this series, and the contest promises exciting cricket. England’s last limited-overs assignment was against West Indies earlier this year, where the Harry Brook-led side dominated, sweeping both ODI and T20I series. With several players in rhythm after The Hundred, and the return of pace spearhead Jofra Archer, England look well-prepared to start strongly.

On the other hand, South Africa arrive with confidence, having recently sealed an ODI series victory against Australia. Although they lost the preceding T20I series 2-1, the team bounced back impressively in the 50-over format. The Proteas will be further boosted by the return of fast-bowling star Kagiso Rabada, who missed the last tour due to an ankle injury. With momentum and key players back, they aim to challenge the hosts in Leeds.
