That’s it from this game then! Action from the tournament continues on the 22nd and it’s a big game as Australia will be taking on England. The action begins at 9 am GMT and join us earlier for the build up. Do join us for the coverage. Till then, goodbye and take care!

Temba Bavuma says it was a clinical performance from them, it was a great decision to bat first on this pitch. It was their best performance. Mentions the wicket looked a bit different than usual but the batters did really well. Appreciate the way Ryan Rickelton played despite variable bounce early on. Feels they pride to have such a good batting line up. Reckons they'll enjoy the win but then think about the next matches.

Hashmatullah Shahidi says they were not good enough with the bat, particularly in the first 20 overs. Shares the toss was important looking at the behaviour of the pitch but credit to South Africa for the way they bowled. Admits they have the ability to fight, today they didn't play the way they wanted. Hopefully they will play well in the next matches.

Ryan Rickelton wins the PLAYER OF THE MATCH AWARD for his century. He says he was a bit nervous coming into the game but happy to contribute to the team. Tells they felt the pitch will be tacky with inconsistent bounce but the batters played nicely. Mentions it was disappointing to get out in that manner, he was trying to pull the trigger in the next few overs but others did. Says he takes pride to score big runs.

...Presentation...

Afghanistan were just poor in this game! Their fielding was the best and nor was the bowling. The batting too surrendered. Rahmat Shah fought a lone battle but that was it, the others crumbled under pressure and in the end, they lost by a big margin.

Quite a comfortable win then for South Africa! Over 300 was always going to be tough and Afghanistan lost a lot of wickets early. They were five down even before they crossed 100. Rabada was brilliant with the ball as he got three. Ngidi and Jansen also did well and so did Maharaj and Mulder. An overall effort from South Africa.
