The limited-overs series against England marks the return of the South African team in international cricket. South Africa will host the England side for a 3-match T20I series that gets underway on November 27, and the series will be followed by as many ODIs. While the England side have featured in several matches post the COVID-19 enforced break, South Africa prepare for their maiden assignment after their India tour which was halted midway due to the pandemic earlier this year.

The hosts, who aim to put up a spectacular show have a challenging opposition in England, who have a stellar side in white-ball cricket. The Eoin Morgan-led side played exceptionally well a few months ago to clinch the 3-match T20I series against arch-rivals Australia, however, they were outplayed by their opposition in the subsequent ODI series. Both the sides have a strong line-up and a tooth and nail fight between the two cricketing nations is on the cards. 

It will be interesting to see if England play the World's No.1 T20I batsman, Dawid Malan in the side as no one, according to Morgan, is guaranteed a place in the T20I XI, seeing the squad's strength.
