ENG vs SA, 1st ODI LIVE SCORE: 'Young' South Africa Aim To Win Series Opener Against World Champions

Background

Newlands: After a humiliating 3-1 series defeat in the four-match Test series against world champions England, Quinton de Kock-led young South African side will be looking to start the 50-overs series with a win in the opening game when they lock horns with Eoin Morgan’s No.1-ranked ODI side in the first ODI today at Cape Town, Newlands.

A good news for South Africa is that England's star all-rounder Ben Stokes and wicket-keeper batsman Jos Buttler won't be playing this series but other in-form players like Jonny Bairstow, Joe Denly and Jason Roy are still a big threat for the Proteas.
