Bloemfontein, Jan 29: England’s bowlers failed to defend 342 as Temba Bavuma’s century helped South Africa to victory in the second ODI to clinch the series 2-0 with one to play.
Jos Buttler’s unbeaten 94 off 82 balls had been the backbone of England’s total, while Harry Brook made an impressive 80. But England’s attack struggled to make inroads at key moments as South Africa skipper Bavuma’s 109 off 102 balls laid the foundation for the chase.
David Miller’s unbeaten 58 got the hosts over the line with five balls and five wickets to spare as they completed their third-highest ODI chase. (Agencies)
