The Rose Bowl Southampton T20 records: Southampton Cricket Ground T20 records and highest innings total

The Rose Bowl Southampton T20 records: The Ageas Bowl had last hosted a T20I as recent as earlier this month.

The third T20I of South Africa’s tour of England 2022 will be played in Southampton tonight. Last white-ball match of this English summer, it will be the second T20I to be played at The Rose Bowl this month.

England, who’ve played all 10 Southampton T20Is in the last 17 years by virtue of being the hosts, have won six and lost four matches in this format. South Africa, on the other hand, have played only one T20I at this venue – ending up losing by nine wickets half-a-decade ago.

With the series level at 1-1, fans would be expecting an intriguing series-decider on a Sunday. Readers must note that both the teams have won a match while batting first in this series. Hence, both the captains would be wanting to do the same as six out of 10 T20Is played here have been won by teams batting first.
