So an easy win for South Africa in the end. Micleburgh made a combatitive start, but England lost their way against the South African spinners. The spinners had a combined return of 4 for 51 in 10 overs. Peinaar also bowled tidily as the visitors fell 21 runs short and South Africa won the Youth T20 series 2-0. Vandiar collects the Man of the Match award for a good all-round performance. The focus now shifts to real cricket, as the tourists head north for a 3 day match against the SA Students's XI, followed by a single 4-day Test. CricInfo will be there.
