CAPE TOWN: England's Jonny Bairstow bludgeoned a brilliant unbeaten 86 from 48 balls as the tourists chased down 180 to beat South Africa by five wickets with four balls to spare on a slow wicket in the first Twenty20 International at Newlands on Friday.
The win will be pleasing for captain Eoin Morgan, who said this week he did not know his best XI in the shortest format but could already have had some questions answered ahead of the second fixture in the three-match series in Paarl on Sunday. Brother Sam Curran exacted some family revenge when he had Du Plessis caught on the boundary by Chris Jordan and was the pick of the visitors’ attack with his career-best figures, and clever change of pace and ability to surprise with the short ball on a slow wicket.Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen also provided useful runs for the home side.
