Sa win also assured South Africa took an untouchable 2- 0 lead in the three- match series, alongside keeping them in the race to achieve direct qualification to the 50- over World Cup.
In pursuit of a massive target of 343, the hosts demanded a solid launch, and that was handed by Quinton de Kock and Bavuma. The South African commander cracked the scourge, drive and slog while facing Topley and Woakes. De Kock also put on a fine exhibition of fur, smacking Woakes for two boundaries and a six in the seventh over. Bavuma continued to play with a sense of adventure and shared a cooperation of 97 with Van der Dussen to keep South Africa in the hunt.England made another strike when Adil Rashid removed Van der Dussen in the 29th over.At the right time, Klaasen and Aiden Makram threaded together another timely stage of 55 in just over six overs. Makram also added a 49- run alliance with David Miller as South Africa inched near.Adil Rashid did beget a flutter as he eviscerated up Markram with a peach of a googly. still, the educated Miller and Marco Jansen landed the big shots- the attic, slog- reaches- to keep the scorecard ticking over. ultimately, off the first ball of the last over, Miller smashed Woakes for a six to give the finishing traces. ahead, Jos Buttler had cracked an assessing 94 not out while Harry Brook( 80) and Moeen Ali( 51) made vital contributions to take England well past the 300- run mark. The guests, who were fitted into club, made an ordinary launch, losing both Dawid Malan and Jason Roy inside seven overs. At that stage, Harry Brook and Ben Duckett sustained the innings with a third- gate stage of 49.eventually, Duckett fell in the 17th over, with Keshav Maharaj picking up the crown. Brook and Buttler also erected on the former stage by sharing a timely alliance of 73.Moeen, who has been going through a prolonged bad patch in ODIs, played with a degree of freedom, cracking the drive, slog- sweep and pull and also collected a fifty.
Once Moeen fell, Buttler hit top gear. Ngidi in particular came in for some severe discipline, with Buttler and Sam Curran clubbing him for three sixes and a boundary in the 47th over. In Ngidi's coming over, the brace yet again smashed a blitz of shots via city homes and midwicket. Curran did lose his gate in the final over sailed by Nortje.
