South Africa tour of England (2025) - (3 ODIs and 3 T20Is)

Can Bangladesh and Afghanistan bat like this on a flat pitch like this?

No. They can't. BD and Afghanistan need sluggish pitches to do well.

Just like England may not be able to win in SL and BD. They actually lost 0-3 in Dhaka.

England also may struggle in UAE. They are mostly good for flat pitches.
 
England have become a bilateral bully lately.

They lost 3 out of 3 in CT 2025. They were horrible in 2023 WC also.

You give them a slightly spicy pitch and they are likely to crumble.
 
They can score 210-220 here.

Current Pakistan and SA can score 250-260 here.

Big3 can score 280+ here.

Current pakistan team batted thrice on pakistan roads against bangladesh. They didn't get anywhere close to 260. You are over-rating your batsmen by comparing them with Salt, Buttler type of players.

Not at all.


Bang+Afghanistan will settle for 170 anywhere

pakistan atm will get to 210, but they might get hunted down in 17 overs.

Big 3 yes 250+
 
I personally do not like these flat pitches.

I like 170-180 pitches. Like the one in Dubai.

200+ games are boring. I want to see a balance between bat and ball.
 
Will they get it...

There was a time when reverse swing used to play a major role even in T20s. Now everything is tilted in favour of batsmen.

Yeah. It is ridiculous.

Cricket has turned into a circus. I miss 90's cricket when things used to feel natural and entertaining.

210 in 12 overs is not entertaining. This is not cricket. LOL.

Ball turned a little at Lahore. English roads are on another level.

They got to play a lot of low level teams this year. Could have one against one of them. It is not easy. You need clean hitting ability without losing your wicket. Pakistan team is likely to collapse if they go after such a total.
 
This is a really good bowling attack, and to thrash them around like England did takes some real skill and brilliance
