February 27, 2015  10:46
 SA 112-1 (25 ovs) vs WI | Scorecard

South Africa content to play risk free cricket at the moment, concentrating just on ones and twos with the odd boundary in between. Sammy goes for three runs in his second over, while Benn concedes just four in the next.

Two overs later, Amla comes down the track and smashes Benn back over his head but gets just a single to long-on. South Africa get the past 100-run mark in the 24th over on a wicket getting slower with every over.

In the next over, Amla lofts Sammy straight down the ground for a six to get to his half-century, from 75 balls.

At the halfway stage, South Africa have reached 112 for one in 25 overs with five fours and a six hit so far.

Amla has made 56 from 78 balls, while du Plessis is on 39 from 53 balls with the duo putting on 94 runs from 116 balls for the second wicket.
