England, one of the favourites to win the ICC Men’s cricket World Cup, is all set to play their first match against South Africa at the Kennington Oval in London tomorrow. The match will begin at 3 p.m. Indian Standard Time. The Eoin Morgan-led team lost their first warm-up to Australia, but made a stupendous comeback, beating Afghanistan by nine wickets at The Oval.
The Proteas, on the other hand, brushed aside Sri Lanka by 87 runs in Cardiff. However, their second match against the West Indies got abandoned due to persistent rain. South Africa last beat England at the Oval way back in 1999 under the leadership of Late Hansie Cronje. India will begin their campaign on 5th June, taking on South Africa at Southampton.
