They managed to score just 138 runs before they were dismissed in just 33 overs. It was all thanks to the fantastic bowling performance of Mitchell Marsh and John Hastings who took 4 and 3 wickets respectively.

Australia chased the target in mere 24.2 overs with Aaron Finch (70 runs) and George Bailey (41 runs) taking them to the finish line.

England won the toss and decided to bowl. The South Africans batted their way to a sky-high score of 229 notches. Amla, De Kock and Duminy all scored half-centuries. But England surprisingly chased the target while just 2 balls were remaining.

Bizarrely, the Proteas gave away 26 runs as extras and that is what became the main reason for their defeat.
