- Scorecard


Du Plessis hits a wide delivery from Sohail through the covers for three runs before Amla strokes the next ball through that same area for a four. The next ball is confidently pulled through midwicket for another boundary as South Africa continue to grow in confidence after the early wicket.

Amla in full flow as he blasts a short wide delivery in the gap between point and cover for his sixth four to race to 24 from 16 balls. What a cracking shot!

The last ball is a wide bouncer outside the off-stump which Amla lets go as 15 runs come from the over.

Irfan also suffers in the next over as he is hit for three more fours. Du Plessis flicks the second ball fine for a four before Amla flicks the fourth square on the leg side for the same result. He crashes the last ball through midwicket to make it three fours as South Africa race to 51 for one in seven overs.

Amla is on fire, having smashed 32 from 20 balls and all his runs have come from boundaries, eight of them in total. Faf is batting on 17 from 20 balls.
