England vs South Africa Head to Head in ODI Cricket

England and South Africa have played 74 One Day Internationals against each other, the first in 1992 and the latest on 7 September 2025. South Africa have won 37 and England 31, with 6 ending without a result. South Africa lead by 6. England's highest total in the fixture is 414 and South Africa's is 399. Their lowest completed totals are 103 and 72. England batters have scored 17 centuries here, South Africa batters 18. All of it is laid out match by match above. Last updated 9 September, 2026.

Their first meeting came at the MCG on 12 March 1992, during South Africa's first World Cup, England taking a rain-affected match by three wickets. Ten days later at Sydney they met again in the semi-final and produced the match that made the old rain rule infamous. South Africa needed 22 from 13 balls, a brief shower stopped play, and the revised target came back as 22 from one. The rule was gone within a few years, and everything about DLS traces back to that evening.

South Africa have held the lead for most of the rivalry, built on a strong 1990s in which they won 12 of 18. England closed the gap during their white-ball rebuild after 2015 and beat them in the 2019 World Cup opener at The Oval, but South Africa have had the better of the 2020s, including a 229-run win at the Wankhede in the 2023 World Cup after posting 399 for 7.

The most lopsided day either has had came at Southampton in September 2025 - England 414 for 5, South Africa dismissed for 72, a 342-run margin. Both the highest total and the widest win the fixture has seen, and a complete reversal of the two matches immediately before it, which South Africa had won at Leeds and Lord's.
