Lhuan-dre Pretorius (22 off 13) and Jordan Hermann (20 off 13) got South Africa off to a quick start, but the star of the innings was once again Dewald Brevis, who followed up his 75 against Namibia with an unbeaten 75 off just 32 balls. Brevis hit seven fours and six sixes in his lightning innings as South Africa reached their target off just 13.4 overs.
