Malan paces chase to perfection as England clinch T20 series
Having overhauled the Proteas’ total of 179 for six with four balls in hand in Friday’s opener in Cape Town, England managed to reach a target of 147 from the penultimate delivery on Sunday.
A slow, low surface made batting difficult for both teams, though Dawid Malan played a crucial knock of 55 from 40 deliveries in the successful chase as England earned a four-wicket win.
