Pitch ReportThe Old Trafford surface is generally high-scoring, but it is not a flat track. The pitch offers good bounce and carry, allowing batters to play their shots freely. However, bowlers who vary their pace with slower deliveries and cutters can also find success here. Traditionally, chasing sides have held the upper hand at the venue, as the pitch tends to remain consistent throughout the match.Also Check:England vs South Africa, 2nd T20I – Live Cricket ScoreENG vs SA Head to Head

South Africa’s young batting sensation Dewald Brevis could be the key player in this clash. Brevis has already made a strong impression with his fearless stroke play in the limited opportunities he has had for the Proteas. He played a quick-fire knock in the rain-affected first T20I and will be eager to produce more fireworks at Old Trafford.Probable Best Bowler: Adil Rashid

The leg-spinner Adil Rashid could prove to be the key with the ball in the second T20I. His variations and control in the middle overs can put the brakes on South Africa’s scoring and build pressure on their batters. A tight four-over spell from Rashid might be exactly what England need to gain the upper hand and secure a much-needed victory.ShortsView MoreYour daily dose of cricket!Today’s Match Prediction: Chasing team to win the matchScenario 1
