South Africa sounded the warning-gongs for the rest of the competition with an uncannily ‘Australian’ like approach as they beat a hapless England by 7 wickets.The English batsmen had no clue what hit them at Trent Bridge as South Africa wrapped them up before 20 overs at a paltry 111.The England team managed to get their lowest T20 total ever with the show where the batsmen failed to capitalise on the conditions. South Africans, on the other hand, were clinical and sharp with their approach and did a marvellous job on the ground.
South Africa had started the campaign with a big thump as the early ball bowlers stuck to the war-plan, claiming three quick wickets that sent tremors down the English dug-out.The most crucial was Albie Morkel’s claiming of Kevin Pietersen in the form of a brilliant catch by Roelof van der Merwe.The duo of Dale Steyn and Parnell started the proceedings for South Africa on a great note as both picked up wickets in their first overs to get the England side on the back-foot.England had won the toss and elected to bat first in their first match of the Super 8 round.
