A monstrous unbeaten 141 from Phil Salt headed a brutal display from England, while they pulled South Africa and quaded the series 1-1.
This was also the very first opportunity when a full member team crossed the 300 threshold in T20i Cricket, and all Proteas Bowlers received their honest part of the punishment today.
This was the third highest innings total in a T20i.
Jos Butler received the procedure to a typical canter, making 83 of only 30 deliveries. Salt was starved from strike during the first phases, but it would cut loose as soon as buttler got out.
Despite a forgotten bowling display, Bjorn Fortuin marked his return to international cricket by taking the only two wickets in England today.
It was already known that the target was almost insurmountable during the break and the Proteas oppers crack fairly quickly during the first three overs.
However, the bowlers of England regularly took wickets and the question speed would quickly cross 20 halfway through the SA -Innings.
Donovan Ferreira and Bjorn Fortuin had a short time, but the whole thing came to an end when Will Jacks’ part -time offspin claimed two wickets in his first, and Liam Dawson took the last Wicket and sent the visitors to a 146 Run defeat.
This is consistent with some of the other recent results, including admitting 400+ against England and then Australia. Some regrouping and assessment is needed before it is preparing for all marbles on Sunday.
Eng 304/2 in 20 overs (salt 141*, buttler 83 Fortuin 4-0-52-2)
SA 158 All Out in 16.1 Overs (Markram 41, Fortuin 32-Archer 3-0-25-3)
