Yes South Africa easily won this match. England team played poorly scoring only 131 runs and their attitude did not look right. Jamie Smith was only player who did well scoring half century. But South Africa played brilliantly. Aiden Markram for South Africa was top player who made fast 86 runs and Ryan Rickelton also played well with 31 runs and he remained not out. Their efforts helped team win easily in just 21 overs. It was strong and well deserved victory for South Africa.
South Africa has been looking strong recently, having recently won the World Test Championship and also winning bilateral series with great performances. South Africa won the first match of the 3-match ODI series against hosts England by a huge margin with a great performance. Host England's performance in this match was absolutely disappointing and very annoying.
Playing at home, getting all out for just 131 runs was a very sad thing for the hosts, especially for the fans. Only 1 of the England batsmen managed to score a fifty and only 4 players managed to score double figures. The rest of the seven were out in single figures, pushing the team into disaster. Batting against 131 runs, the Proteas achieved the target of 132 runs in just 21 overs and won by a huge margin of 7 wickets.
