South Africa faltered early, losing two key wickets during the powerplay and never quite recovered the rhythm. Dewald Brevis showed some fight, but the rest of the batting order struggled to keep pace with the required rate. George Linde and Gerald Coetzee added a few gritty runs toward the end, attempting to steer the chase, but the task proved too steep. Matt Henry and Jacob Duffy picked up three wickets each. Tim Robinson is the Player of the Match.
