What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. South Africa will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers will be pleased to move on from here. The pitch was flat as a pancake and did not offer much assistance either way. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said South Africa proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
