That is that. Hope you enjoyed our coverage as much as we did bringing it to you. Do come back for the second T20 on Sunday. Until then, goodbye and good night!

Aaron Phangiso, Man of the Match: I always focus on simple things. We were under pressure, the captain gave me the ball and I just do what I do in the nets. Me and the captain planned and we had a couple of guys to protect the boundaries on the leg side. I just invited him [Williamson] to come out, like I said we were under pressure.

AB de Villiers: It was an enjoyable experience. It is great to go 1-0 up and it will be great to take the momentum to Centurion. We were nervous and that showed in the first five overs but we pulled it back. Credit to Phangiso, he slowed things up. Wiese is a very smart cricketer. 160 is minimum, they were definitely below par. Morne and Hash started well and allowed me and Rilee to free it up.

Kane Williamson: After the start we got with the bat, we could a got a bit more. It was outstanding from South Africa to pull things back. The way the guys stuck at it was positive for us. They are a very good team and we need to be at our best to beat them. They controlled the last 10 overs and 150 probably isn't enough.

9:03pm Behardien and Miller shake hands. After the bowlers struck back, Amla and Van Wyk gave South Africa a brisk start with a 35-run partnership. AB and Rossouw headed up the consolidation while Behardien struck the winning runs in a comfortable chase..
