England vs South Africa Playing 11 World Cup 2023: England will be up against South Africa in the ICC World Cup 2023 Match 20 on Saturday (October 21) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

England's underwhelming start means they are currently 5th in the table with 2 points after three matches. On the other hand, South Africa are placed 3rd in the table, with 4 points in as many games.

Both England and South Africa have tasted unexpected defeat. The English team lost against Afghanistan while the proteas were bamboozled by Netherlands in their last match.

England will be without Ben Stokes as the all-rounder is still nursing his injury. After their shocking defeat at the hands of Afghanistan, changes are warranted in the English team and we may see one in Mumbai. Moeen Ali may well be handed a recall in the starting lineup, but the question is at the expense of which player! It is likely that England may drop Sam Curran who has had a lean patch thus far in the tournament.

For South Africa, there are no injury issues in the current squad. South Africa's dismal outing against the Dutch looks like a blip, but they will have play out of their skins to topple a wounded England side.

In terms of team, Gerald Coetzee may lose his place and Tabraiz Shamsi can come back in the starting lineup for the Proteas.
