South African opener scored 31 from 29 balls and that was the main reason for their defeat.

But, when the defeating margin was just 2 runs, you still blame the opener? Another opener De Kock was scoring at most ~300 striking rate at the other end, you cannot expect his partner too hitting hard. I agree 100+ strike rate is good for first 10 to 15 balls and definitely bad even after facing 25+ balls, that is the case of Bavuma. Still, as a opener he laid good foundation and the middles were not stronger as usual.

Most south African players are moving to counties on Kolpak deals which makes old south African team ever strongest cricket team in history. In my opinion south Africans deserved the 1999 world cup and even 2 years back with ABD and Fab du Plesis, they looked stronger in all 3 formats but now looks too weaker like West Indies and Sri Lanka teams.

A lot of the users are commenting that South Africa could have won the match. In my opinion, England deserved it more as they played as a team. South Africa was heavily dependent on individual performances by a few players.

It is not about deserving it is about winning when the pressure is on the players and both these T20 were highly entertaining and the match lasted till the end and South Africa and England have one win each and leveled the series and tomorrow we have another match and hopefully it will be another entertaining encounter, not having the confidence to wage a bet but i am expecting England to win the match and the series.

If you can handle the pressure you can win close matches. This is the main reason for England winning over the South Africans. T20 is a game of nerves if the team is calm and knows it's goal then it will win any game. I also feel England has more experience player than South Africa and that might be another reason for thier win.

South Africa lost its all glory in cricket just because of quota system too much interference from politicians now its not easy for them to have very competitive team like past because they have no system like England which is bringing good players through system in recent time as ECB done good changes now they able to have good results so South Africa fight good but not as England doing for me both matches was interesting and can go either way but now for final England is favourite and can win this series.

A lot of the users are commenting that South Africa could have won the match. In my opinion, England deserved it more as they played as a team. South Africa was heavily dependent on individual performances by a few players. And in a match where the required run rate was almost 11 runs per over, the South African opener scored 31 from 29 balls and that was the main reason for their defeat.

What a series and what a end of second twenty/20 match England won by just 2 runs as Curran done good job in last 3 balls even his first 3.5 overs cost him 43 runs but last three balls completely change all things for England Love this format and game between these quality teams now third and final match is going to be more excited.

It was a wonderful match and England was able to play the same game South Africa played against them in the first match. Curran bowled the last over and he was able to hold on to the total and even with two wickets in the last over they were able to win the match and with the win the series is leveled and the final game determines the champion.

South Africa should've won this one; Van Der Dussen should've completed the game that he started. It's good that he scored fast and played nice cricket, but it's all useless if he can't finish it and tries to take a double at the time of over-finish. He should've played more sensibly and should've succeeded in winning it for SA. It was a nice match overall but I'm a bit hurt, as Dussen is one of my favorite players and I wasn't expecting him to be this fool at the very end of the game. Roll Eyes

Van Der Dussen is very exciting player but relatively he is new in International cricket just because of this lack of experience but last over was full of entertainment as happen in last match where Ngidi done great job in this match first four balls already turn match in South African way but last two balls again change things.

What a match we had witnessed and really Dussen and Pretorius almost took the match on their side but just fell short by 2 runs. They played some fantastic cricketing shots and helped SA to narrow the ball and runs difference but in the end England manage to win the match by 2 runs. Moeen Ali was named Man of the match for his fast paced innings of 39 in just 11 balls which actually helped England to cross 200+ runs.

I agree, these are the series us cricket fans like to see. Both teams playing close matches and the game coming right down to the last few balls. This is what makes T20 cricket enjoyable to watch when the games are close like the two games we have seen so far between these two teams. We are in for another great match to see which team wins the series. The upcoming series between SA and Australia will hopefully be the same as this series, close fought matches.

First two matches of series have really amazing end first match South Africa won on last ball by 1 run and second match England won on last ball by 2 runs few days back we have few matches in super over its really going to be amazing matches in future and peoples going to love cricket as they was in love few years back.

I think that what we are starting to see now is that teams are very competitive as players gain more experience playing this format of the game. There is no one or two dominate T20 teams as even the lower ranked teams are now playing a lot better which is good for cricket and I think T20 will only become more competitive between all the teams with one easy way to predict which team will win like we see a lot in test match cricket.

Quinton de Kock is taking on the England bowlers and he scored his fastest half century in just 18 balls and have already smashed seven sixes and they had a really great opening partnership and if they can maintain that and not loose much wickets then they will be able to chase the score and David Miller must stay till the end for them to chase this score. Chasing a score above 200 runs is always difficult but with the flying start they got they can win the match, either way it will be a close match.

SA has a chance though the asking rate is climbing and require 47 runs in 20 balls and 6 wickets in hand . Some one has to play quickly and get 20 runs in a over which would bring the asking rate down and also the runs and ball difference would reduce .

Moeen Ali changed the match altogether by smashing 39 runs in just 11 balls and unfortunately he got out looking to clear the ropes once again and Ben Stokes is still in the crease and now 200 is a real possibility and England need to put over 200 runs to put pressure back to South Africa and level the series and i am expecting England could level the series as they will be determined to win this match.

LOL... 15 runs from the final over bowled by Ngidi and they finish at 204/7. It is going to be a very difficult task for South Africa, and they need more than 10 runs per over in a pace-friendly track against some of the best fast bowlers in the world. For South Africa, the pacers were very expensive. Hendricks went for 45 from 3, Ngidi 48 from 4 and Phehlukwayo 47 from 4. Only Pretorius bowled tightly, conceding just 17 from his three.

Stokes and Ali are batting and if they play full 20 overs or any one stays till end then we can see England crossing 200+ runs and it will be a big chase for SA. Bairstow innings was also at a quick pace though he got out at 35 in 17 balls .

Kingsmead used to be one of the most pace-friendly surfaces, but I don't know how whether that has changed recently or not. If it still supports the pace bowlers, then any total above 160 should be enough for England. They have already crossed that score (162/5 after 17.2 overs) and it is going to be an uphill task for the South African batsmen.

South Africa was able to pick up the England wickets but they were not able to control the England batsman to score freely and the strike rate is over 8 till now and Ben Stokes still in the crease and they can put up a good total in this match and South Africa is confident about chasing anything below 170 runs and so is the reason they got the toss and elected to field as they are confident on chasing.
