4.30pm And that is that. Comfortable win for South Africa, who go 1-0 up in the two-match T20 series. It was fun bringing the game to you. We hope you'll be back for the rest of the series too. Until then, bye!

Faf du Plessis: "Wicket was tough, specially with the new ball, spinners were bowling well, ball wasn't bouncing much. Took time to get used to the conditions, but once we got in we started playing well. Old man [Duminy] bowled well today, the wicket was conducive to the spinners, and he put them under real pressure. It's good when you have someone like JP who can chip in with the ball as well. It's nice to be batting again. We've been off for two months or so, so it's nice to play competitive cricket again. It's a knock that you'd like to play as a batter. Not the easiest wicket, not a flat T20 wicket, had to graft a lot. Ball was spinning and staying low, we just needed a partnership, and Rilee played really well. That was the match-winning partnership." Faf is the Man of the Match too.

Mashrafe Mortaza: "Bowlers bowled petty well. We would have done well to restrict them to 130, but we couldn't build partnerships as a batting order. The wicket looked a bit slow, it was a plan [to start with the spinners] and all the bowlers bowled well, I think. I think batters played too many shots, but we can fix it, it's not too much of a worry, the way they are batting. We'll be back in the next match."

4.15pm Easy win for South Africa, whose spinners possibly derived even more help from this pitch than their Bangladesh counterparts. No partnerships for Bangladesh apart from the one between Shakib and Mushfiqur, and that means they've slipped to their lowest ever T20 total at home.
