3rd ODI
SA v England
3rd ODI · Mangaung Oval
A compact, friendly ground in the Free State capital with a flat batting deck that tends to produce big totals in white-ball cricket. Two ODIs in three days make Bloemfontein the natural base for the end of the tour — settle in once and watch the series decided.
