England and South Africa have an equal head-to-head record in T20Is, with their performance evenly matched at overseas venues as well.

England’s bowling line-up has shown some weaknesses, with their leading wicket-taker having only 6 wickets. In contrast, South Africa’s top bowler has taken 10 wickets.
