England v South Africa Twenty20 Series 2012 – 1st Twenty20
England v South Africa
Sat 8 Sep 2012, 02:30pm BST, 02:30pm local
South Africa win by 7 wickets
| England | 118-7 (20 ovs) |
|---|---|
| South Africa | 119-3 (19 ovs) |
Over 19. 4 runs. Bowler: Jade Dernbach. South Africa: 119/3(rr 6.26)
Dernbach to Kallis. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to backward point for 1 run, shy attempt by Bairstow. Yet again the team batting second has coasted to victory and this game took on a very similar pattern to the final one dayer in Nottingham. South African bowled well but England gifted them far too many wickets to end up a long way short of a useful total. England's bowlers once again came out well and snared three early wickets but the ever reliable Jacques Kallis saw his side to a convincing victory alongside JP Duminy. Plenty of problems for England to address before the next game in this series let alone the World T20 tournament, where they will be defending their title.
