England claimed the T20 series versus South Africa on Sunday at Centurion, after chasing down over 200.

South Africa posted 222/6 in their 20 overs, with Heinrich Klaasen top scoring with 66 off only 33 balls. Temba Bavuma also narrowly missed out on a half-century, scoring 49.

England chased down the total fairly comfortably in the end, reaching the total with five balls to spare. The successful chase was due in large part thanks to Eoin Morgan, who equaled his own record of the fastest 50 in a T20 International by an Englishman. Jonny Bairstow also contributed 64 to the chase.

England win the series 2-1 and can look back at a successful tour of South Africa, having won the Test series and drawn the one-day internationals.
