South African bowlers hold nerve to level Australia T20 series

Opening batsman David Warner hit an unbeaten 67 for Australia but it wasn’t enough as South Africa defended a modest total of 158 for four to win by 12 runs and level the three-match series.

South Africa captain Quinton de Kock was named man of the match after he slammed 70 off 47 balls to get the home team off to a blazing start as they set out to recover from a record 107-run defeat in the first match in Johannesburg on Friday.Warner, Aaron Finch and Steve Smith got Australia off to a similarly fast start but both teams found scoring increasingly difficult on a slow pitch with low bounce as the ball lost its shine and hardness.

“We thought 160 was par because we know this wicket. It was always going to be more difficult towards the end.” Warner and Smith, both on their first tour of South Africa since serving a one-year ban for ball-tampering, kept Australia on target before Smith was caught by a diving Faf du Plessis at mid-on for 29 with the total on 98 in the 13th over.
