Quinton de Kock was the other star for the Proteas belting 70 in only 47 deliveries at the top of the order.

Faf du Plessis celebrates after taking a stupendous catch to dismiss Steve Smith and turn the match into South Africa's favour.South Africa produced a fighting performance with the ball to edge Australia by 12 runs in a nail-biting 2nd KFC T20 International at St George’s Park in Port Elizabeth on Sunday.

Aussie opener David Warner carried his bat for 67 not out in a brave innings that was just not enough to get his side over the line. The Aussies, who had won eight matches on the bounce, looked set for a comfortable win until Rabada, Ngidi and Nortje produced four late wickets between them to seal the victory.Earlier, South Africa won the toss and opted to take first strike.

Apart from an aggressive 37 by Van der Dussen there was nothing else to write home about in the Proteas innings. He did manage a beautiful cover drive in his 14 off 17 but generally looked like someone trying to use the opportunity to play himself into the team.
