SA’s Proteas take on England in the 2nd T20 International match today, after losing the 1st T20 match by 1 run due to rain and the application of the Duckworth-Lewis method, to determine the winner. This is the match thread for discussion of the game.
The match is being played at SuperSport Park, Centurion and the game should kick off at 14:30 SA Time.

Morkel already has two 4’s. England going to struggle to chase down this score.
Bosman goes on 94 off of 45 balls. Great performance really wanted him to get a 100. Felt for him going out there.
Well done to him and GS on great batting.
Boundary to Kallis.
Jeepers only me here. At this rate I will over take Piet and Carol before the cricket is over on the most comments above 😆
Kallis gone.
Power back well done Puma
South Africa finish on 241/6. Superbe performance especially from our openers.
England going to find this very, very hard to chase down it is a massive score from SA.
meant – surperb up there.
66 – Super what a brilliant performance from our openers.
Superb to get 241 from 20 overs. Brilliant. England will find it very hard to chase that.
Now if only the rain never came on Friday we probably would have won there.
Sheez… 241 for 6
#66 Puma Hi there.
I just hate the D/L system
What a batting display that was from South Africa. Awesome striking from Smith and Bosman…19 fours and 17 sixes in total. Not a good day for the bowlers (Anderson can hold his head high) and England will have to be even better than they were with the bat at the Wanderers to get anywhere near this. Join me a few minutes for the run chase
71 – Pill,
I do too, so hoping no rain today want to see how England can chase this massive score. Brilliant by our openers today.
GS and Bosman were superb. Never seen two open like that. Sort of reminded me of that greatest one day game at the Wanderers against Oz, when Gibbs and GS opened.
Back in 10min. Going to get something to eat now. All this typing making me hungry. Like doing a work out in the gym 😆
Abdulla strikes. England lose their first wicket.
Great bowling there by Van der Merwe. 2 off that over. England are struggling.
England 50/1 after 8 overs. Good bowling by McLaren.
Another wicket goes. England in big trouble.
Jeepers, see Japan beat Canada 46-8 Fell flat on my face with that one on SuperBru. Thought Canada would have bigger better players than the small Japs. Got it very wrong there.
England 144/5 after 17.3 overs. Think that is it all over.
Now going to the rugby thread.
77 Japan beat Canada, I think only rugby Princess predicted that one…..I had a chuckle when I saw her choice!!! 😐
Well done on your cricket commntary there Puma!
This was a massive batting performance by SA.
Going for gold 50 000
