England won in bowling dominated second ODI, dissapointing batting by Proteas
In the second ODI, England defeated South Africa by 118 runs. With this victory, England level the series and both teams will play the series decider on July 24th.
1st innings:
Proteas won the toss and opted to field first, which was proved to be right decision as England lost their half side on 72. The small knocks by Bairstow, Livingstone and the quick knock by Sam Curran helped England to reach at 201, which was not really impressive total. Dwaine Pretorius was the most successful bowler with 4 wickets, Nortje and Shamsi took 2 each although Nortje was quite expensive.
2nd innings:
South Africa got poor start as they lost 4 wickets in 3rd and 4th over and within powerplay, their half team was gone.
Four South African players went on duck and only Klaasen, Pretorius and Miller reached in double figures. Adil Rashid took 3 wickets whereas Topley and Moeen Ali grabbed 2 wickets each. Sam Curran became man of the match for his all-round performance, he made 35 with bat and also took a wicket.
