It hasn't been a good start to the ICC World Cup 2023 for defending champion England. They have just won one game out of three and suffered a horrible collapse against Afghanistan in the last game. Now they will face even harder opposition.
Match No. 20 will see a clash between England and South Africa. This game will be played on Saturday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Both teams are coming off a defeat against smaller sides and will be eager to get back on track.

ENG vs SA: Pitch Report
The traditional Wankhede Pitch is a batting paradise, and it also offers a good amount of bounce. Pacers will get some initial help, and spinners will get grip. The average score here is 234, but as seen in the last few years, it has increased. Team batting second is also an advantage here.
