England vs South Africa 3rd T20I: H2H, Pitch & Weather Report, Playing XI’s and Live Streaming Details

With the series tied at 1-1, South Africa and England will battle it out in the deciding third T20I on Sunday. After a disappointing ODI series defeat, England hit back strongly in the second T20I with a record-breaking performance. Their openers, Jos Buttler (83 off 30) and Phil Salt (141 off 60), tore apart the South African bowling attack to post the first-ever 300+ total in T20 internationals. England then wrapped up the match by bowling out the Proteas for just 158, with Jofra Archer picking up three wickets. The win has set up a thrilling finale, with the hosts eager to seal the series.
South Africa started the series well by winning the first match but slipped in the second. Chasing a huge target of 305, Aiden Markram’s men struggled against England’s fiery bowling and were bowled out for just 158. Markram was the lone fighter with 41 runs off 20 balls. With the series now on the line, the Proteas will need to step up and deliver in the all-important decider.

Eng vs SA 3rd T20I Pitch Report
The pitch at Trent Bridge is great for batting. It’s flat with nice bounce and carry, which helps stroke players, especially early on. At the start, bowlers can find some help from the surface, but as the game goes on, batting becomes easier and players can play their shots freely. If the pitch wears down later, spinners might also get some help.
