Initial salvo of the ODI series will be fired on February 3, 2015 with the Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein as the venue. It has the capacity to accommodate 20,000 spectators. England has good memories of this ground because the tourists chased 265 target set by the PROTEAS in the past. As far as the pitch is concerned, it is a batting beauty and batsmen can make marry if they are able to safely negotiate first few over. South Africa’s fielding can play a very crucial role in impacting the final results. English bowlers have their task cut out as they have to deal with AB DEVILLIERS and FAF DUPLESSIS menace.
