For England, looking to bounce back from their previous defeat to Afghanistan, the Proteas' innings presented a challenging target to chase.

England's response was anchored by their bowling lineup, and in the 35th over, it was Reece Topley who made a crucial breakthrough. South Africa's skipper, Aiden Markram, departed the crease with 42 runs to his name, courtesy of Topley's well-executed delivery. However, Markram's exit was not without a moment of sheer brilliance.
