ENG vs SA Dream11 Prediction, Best Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 2nd ODI, England vs South Africa ODI series 2025

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for 2nd ODI of the England vs South Africa ODI series 2025 between ENG vs SA to be played in London.
Once again, England have been on the receiving end of their ultra-aggressive batting approach. They were bowled out for just 131 runs, and South Africa made a mockery of the target with Aiden Markram’s 23-ball fifty in the first ODI of the series.
Nothing went in favour of England, and they will now be looking to bounce back to level the series. South Africa just need to carry on what they did in the first game and put England under pressure.
The second ODI will be played on Thursday (September 4) at the Lord’s Cricket Ground. A defeat here means England will lose the series. They have already slipped to No. 8 in ODI team rankings, and it won’t help them further.
