South Africa played well, but ultimately it came down to two individual scores. Hendricks and Riley Rossouw played very well and scored 53 and 96 runs individually. That was also a big one from South Africa. When the target is 208 runs the chasing team is always going to be under a certain amount of pressure. That is what happened in this match. England did score quite quickly but they have lost wickets at regular intervals. England didn’t have any meaningful partnership like South Africa had. And yes the lower order also failed. As I said, with climbing the required run rate comes a great deal of pressure. And the lower order was just not able to handle that.
Right now, as we are going into white ball game mostly we have just one or two players those can change all match with their bat or ball as we have in second T-20 between England vs South Africa Hendricks and Rossouw both play amazing game and bring their team in commanding shape which helps bowlers for having good challenge to English batsmen which fail to give proper reply.In first match Malan and Ali play vital role for England, and they set big target but sadly in second match both fail to perform which helps Proteas for having better result now we have to wait for third and final match where good contest is waiting for us and entertaining cricket is going to play.
