Player of the match AB de Villiers ( South Africa)
Player of the series AD Hales (England)
An excellent unbeaten century from South Africa captain AB de Villiers playing his 200th ODI, inspired South Africa to become fourth side to come from 2-0 down to win the ODI series after defeating England by five wickets, at Newland Cape Town.
Both Alex Hales century and Reece Topley’s 3 wickets in 9 deliveries went in vain.
England were bowled out within their 50 overs due to some reckless batting as de Villiers attacked with discretion.
