The hosts successfully chased down the Three Lions’ 342-run mark in the last game to win the Day series and keep their prospects of qualifying for the 2023 ODI World Cup alive. They must now complete a clean sweep of England in order to be considered for the quadrennial event in India in October.

A total of 290 to 300 runs could prove to be an above-par total at Kimberley. With the uneven bounce and swing, the pacers will be expected to make a huge effect on this track and keep the batters guessing. Batting will be difficult on this surface. As a result, the captain who wins the toss would like to bat first and score runs.
