Toss and Match Results in ICC Champions Trophy

England

South Africa

Both these teams have played 26 matches in the history of Champions Trophy and this match will be the 27th for both in the tournament history. Out of the 26 matches played, England have had much better luck with the toss winning 13 out of the 26 tosses (50%) while South Africa have just won 11 out of the their 26 tosses (42%).

On winning the toss, England have won 8 out of the 13 games (62%) while South Africa have won 6 out of 11 games (55%). However, an interesting stat is that England have won 5 out of 13 matches (38%) in which they have lost the toss while South Africa have won 7 out of 15 games (47%) when they have lost the toss.

Based on the above numbers, it is fair to say that England tend to be much more dependent on the toss in the Champions Trophy to get a positive result while South Africa’s results have been much lesser toss-dependent.

SA vs ENG Toss Prediction

If we look at the recent history of the tosses between these two teams in the ODI format, neutral venues have tended to favor England with the toss with England’s only toss win in the last 5 ODIs between these two teams coming on a neutral venue in an ICC event. Since this is also another neutral venue in an ICC tournament, our prediction is that England will win the toss.

England have been awfully out of form in the recent past and have lost their past 6 ODIs with two of them coming in this Champions Trophy. On the other hand, South Africa look a really strong unit at this time and could prove to be too good for England who are already struggling. Our prediction is that South Africa will win the match.

ENG vs SA Head to Head

England and South Africa have played 70 matches in the ODI format in their rivalry, which has spanned nearly 33 years. This has been a closely fought rivalry over the years with South Africa leading by a close margin of 34-30. The first match between both these nations was played in the 1992 World Cup, where both these teams met two times in the tournament, and England came out victors in both of them. The most recent of these contests was in the 2023 World Cup when South Africa decimated England.
