Despite the dramatic victory, South Africa will know they have a few key areas to work on. Most notably, the middle-order, which, in the absence of Temba Bavuma who was promoted to open, looked a touch too inexperienced.
England will be keen to brush the first defeat as a mere aberration and return to winning ways come the second game. As champions of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019 and finalists of the most recent ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, they are one of the strongest white-ball sides at the moment. The one area they need most focus on, across formats, is against the tendency to collapse. On Wednesday, it was another such chapter which resulted in their narrow defeat.
