Batting first, South Africa dropped Dale Steyn and enjoyed a
good start provided by Quinton de Kock (45). In the middle of the order,
Faf du Plessis (41) chipped in with runs too before AB de Villiers
upped the ante by hitting 64 runs from 29 balls including dispatching
one over for 29 runs. At the end, South Africa ended with 209 runs – yet
another 200+ score. In reply, Shahzad gave the Afghans belief with 44
runs from 19 balls but no one really reciprocated the effort. Proteas
seamers Morris, Abbott and Rabada did the job to keep Afghanistan and
bay to win by 37 runs.
