England seems to have problem in the One-day form of the games. In the Champions Trophy also they started the series by winning against Sri Lanka andSouth Africa but were defeated by New Zealand and Australia. So they need a lot of improvisation in their game. South African team has emerged as a real performer from past one year so they have to put everything into the game. They can’t think of any errors as the series is sqared to final two matches. IfEngland want to pressurize the host they need to do their homework quite well.

Johan Botha was dropped from the previous game, but one doesn’t see him remain out of the side for long. He should be back into the third ODI at Cape Town.
The batting line-up now will depend heavily on the captain Graeme Smith for the functioning. Despite half centuries from Hashim Amla and Alviro Petersen in the previous game, it needs the runs from the captain who bats much more aggressively than anyone else and hence takes the games away. Herschelle Gibbs has been drafted into the side and could be an option for the side.
For England, one does not see a lot of changes to the side. The opening combination was changed around to get in Jonathon Trott at the top and it worked wonders. Trott has been known to be an aggressive batsman in the county level, and shown his maturity to convert his first class form into international form. This has given Strauss options, and allowed his all-rounders in Collingwood and Luke Wright to come down the order with the ability to smash around in the batting powerplay.
All in all, the English side looks more settled than their South African counterparts, but the hosts have the tenacity in them to bounce back.
