ENG vs SA Match Prediction: The first T20I of the England vs South Africa series was a rain-impacted match in Cardiff, where South Africa took a 1-0 lead in the three-match rubber.

England vs South Africa 2nd T20I team news:
The Proteas have lost the services of David Miller and Lungi Ngidi from the entire T20I series against England due to injuries. In the first T20I, Keshav Maharaj was benched because the game was shortened significantly. The left-arm spinner is most likely to slot in the XI for the second T20I.
Jofra Archer was taken out of the XI, after being named in it a day before, due to wet conditions in Cardiff. He is set to return to the field in Manchester. In his absence, Luke Wood entered the side and performed impressively, so Liam Dawson or Jamie Overton could be dropped.
