Big picture

If the character and courage of the tourists weren't a problem at all in the first T20 (not to mention the massive Champions Trophy), South Africa delivered a huge repostes to Tonton. Although the focus was on the dismissal of Jason Roy, who interrupted the field, the real story was an intense fight inspired by the dismissal. Chris Morris.

With Roy and Jonny Bairstow placing the century stand for the second turnstile, it seemed that Britain was cruising for another comprehensive win. But instead of requiring fifty 39 balls, South Africa cut off the dead end as they enjoyed the lush crowd. First sight for British Men's International since 1983.

South African independent captain AB de Villiers demanded a response and his bowlers delivered when Morris, Andile Phehlukwayo and Dane Paterson successfully tied new batters. Morris stood in front of him to justify wearing a shirt.

The UK was able to take a lot from Tom Curran's debut performance. Roy is back in form. His 67 ended 10 international innings without 50 and continued to run Bairstow, but Eoin Morgan would have been disappointed with seeing another clutch and the moment goes on the path of opposition. Another debut, Liam Livingstone, was hard baptized and will have the opportunity to prove his talent in a Cardiff judge.

There may not be much substance left in the finals. England has already brought a few more new faces that all five players will bleed into the squad, but the results can still have greater meaning in combat. come.

Will.

David Miller Is the second most experienced player in South Africa at T20 International and has an amazing ball hitting ability. He has had the opportunity to form both games so far, but he hasn't been running except for one straight win in Southampton. South Africa can shoot to increase the odds of scoring against him.
