South Africa lost the third ODI against England with the most runs in ODI history on Sunday due to a dreadful performance. By an unprecedented 342 runs, the England team won with ease. Jacob Bethells and Joe Root each scored a century as the England squad amassed an incredible 415 runs.

Following the second inning, the South African side was unable to chase down 415 runs and was dismissed for a meager 72 in just 20.5 overs. This collapse demonstrated the complete dominance of England's fast bowler Jofra Archer, who claimed 4 wickets, and spinner Adil Rashid, who also claimed 3 wickets.
