England lost the T20I and ODI series against India by 2-1. They now move ahead to clash with South Africa on home soil. South Africa on the other hand drew an away T20I series with India winning the first two matches and losing the next two, while the last match was abandoned due to rain.
England sit at the second spot in the International T20I team rankings with a rating of 264, meanwhile, South Africa are ranked fourth with 255. In the ODI, the gap is even bigger with England sitting at second with 121 rating points whereas South Africa are placed sixth with 99. This series would be a good test for both before the upcoming T20I World Cup later this year in Australia.
