Special Bets on the ENG vs SA, 2nd ODI Match 2025
Author: Shimit Mahur
Updated At:
After a low-scoring ODI, England and South Africa will face each other for one more fixture in the series. The ENG vs SA 2nd ODI is scheduled to take place on Thursday at Lord’s.
South Africa controlled the 1st ODI and stunned the opposition with one of the best bowling spells in the ODI format. England, on the other hand, needs to regroup and regain their focus for the 2nd ODI. The two teams are evenly matched, and they both will be in the spotlight at the cricket betting websites.
In this article, we bring you a collection of special bets for the England vs South Africa 2nd ODI Match from the trusted betting sites in India.

Batsman (South Africa) will hit 50 runs @ 1.18 - Battery Bet
South Africa’s win in the 1st ODI came because of their ferocious bowling attack. However, their batters also performed well and scored runs from the first ball. Aiden Markram was the leading run-scorer for the team with 86 off 55 balls at a strike rate of 156.36. Ryan Rickelton was his partner, and he managed to score 31 off 59 balls at a strike rate of 52.54.
Overall, in 2025, Temba Bavuma has been in good shape. He has scored 306 runs in 7 ODI matches at an average of 43.71 and a strike rate of 85.23. Temba Bavuma has also managed to collect 4 half-centuries.
Aiden Markram has also been a valuable contributor to the team. He has managed to score 253 runs in 7 matches at an average of 50.60 and a strike rate of 118.77. He has 3 half-centuries to his name this year.
We can expect Temba Bavuma and Aiden Markram to score the majority of the runs and a half-century in the Thursday match.

Adil Rashid was the top wicket-taker for England in the 1st ODI. He scalped 3 wickets in 3.5 overs at an economy of 6.78. Adil Rashid is also the leading wicket-taker in the ODIs for England in 2025 with 22 wickets in 10 matches at an economy of 6.10.
