The visitor team England have sealed the victory in four test match series with 3-1 against the home team South Africa. After the much-entertained test series, South African viewers are hoping a good comeback in ODI format. It is very important for the home side to win this ODI series because they must have to show something in their skills.
367/5 is the highest total of the venue scored by the home team in 2017 against Sri Lanka. The second-highest total of this Newlands, Cape Town cricket ground is 354/3 again scored by the home team against Kenya in 2001.
