SA won the toss and elected to bat first, scoring 222/6, but England did not have too much trouble in their chase as they crossed the line on 226/5 with five balls to spare. Bairstow followed him soon afterwards when he was clean bowled by Andile Phehlukwayo after hammering a rampant 64, which included seven boundaries.
Proteas openers De Kock and Bavuma started the match in blistering form and their partnership reached the 50 mark from 22 balls after only 15 minutes.
