Rassie Van Der Dussen:  England won the toss and elected to bowl first against South Africa in their crucial preliminary round match in the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium here on Saturday.

England made three changes in the playing XI that lost to Afghanistan in their last match. As expected, Ben Stokes has recovered from an a right hip injury and is back while David Willey and Gus Atkinson come in for Chris Woakes and Sam Curran.

Skipper Jos Buttler said it was a good ground for chasing and they haven't batted as well as they would have liked to. He reckoned that the wicket will favour pace.
