The Proteas returned to a 1-1 tie in the three-match T20 series. South Africa posted a huge collection of 207 runs after losing 3 wickets in the scheduled 20 overs, batting earlier in the second T20 in Cardiff on Thursday.

Rossouw contributed the most to this collection. He shook the English bowlers alone. He scored 96 runs with 10 boundaries and five sixes before getting out, which is his career-best innings in T20. Besides, Reeza Hendricks played an innings of 53 runs off 32 balls.
In response, England couldn’t play their 20 overs under the controlled bowling of Tabraiz Shamsi.

Butler’s team was bundled out for 149 runs with 20 balls left in the innings. Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali, who batted brilliantly in the previous match, could not increase their innings this time. Bairstow scored 30 off 21 balls. And 28 runs from Moeen Ali’s bat came from 17 balls. Captain Jos Buttler scored 29 off 14 balls.

Tabraiz Shamsi and Andil Felukayo took three wickets each for South Africa. Besides, Lungi Ngidi took 2 wickets for just 11 runs in 2.4 overs. The English were bowled out in 16.4 overs.
