After suffering a defeat in the first ODI, the Proteas bounced back to win the second game and keep their hopes of winning the series alive. Tony de Zorzi’s magnificent century helped South Africa chase down the target with ease and with the game by eight wickets.

Batting first, the Men in Blue could manage to score only 211 runs as they were bowled out in 46.2 overs. Nandre Burger’s three-wicket haul and a couple of scalps each by Beuran Hendricks and Keshav Maharaj helped the hosts restrict the visitors to a low total.
