- South Africa 179-6; England 183-5 – England won by five wickets
- Bairstow hits unbeaten 86 from 48 balls to guide England home
Jonny Bairstow once again showed how dangerous he can be with a point to prove, turning a demotion in the batting order into a magnificent, match-winning turn in England’s first Twenty20 in South Africa.
Moved down from his preferred opening slot to No4 – behind Jos Buttler, Jason Roy and Dawid Malan – the Yorkshireman batted with power and precision to make a career-best 86 not out in a five-wicket victory in Cape Town.
