South African Cricket Team gained their reputation back in
the T20 contests after defeating England Cricket team by 2-0. The first game
was considerably the tougher one, where England were just defending the total
of 134 runs and on the last ball of the match SA team was able to achieve the
target. But the 2nd match turned out to be SA’s commanding game. The
English team setup a good total on the board, having 171 runs scored where JC
Buttler once again was the leading scorer with 54 runs on just 28 balls. He hit
04 sixes and 04 fours. It has to be remembered that the player has a strike
rate of 118.75 in the One-day internationals and in the T20 contests he scored
runs with a strike rate of 135.56, which is collectively the highest strike
rates in all formats of cricket for any player.
South African Cricket Team set out another record on chasing
this massive total in 13.4 overs only. Again SA team batting monster, AB de Villiers
was unstoppable with having 71 runs on the board on just only 29 balls. He hit
06 sixes and 06 fours in his innings. HM Amla remained undefeated on 69 runs
and had faced 38 balls. With this win South African Cricket Team reached out on 2nd place
in the T20 ranking with 119 rating list, next to Indian cricket team having 122
rating list. The captain Faf du Plessis expressed great pleasure on team’s supreme
form before the start of ICC T20 world cup.
