2015-16 South Africa Vs England Second T20 @ Johannesburg Sunday February 21,2016 - AB de Villiers Scores Fastest 21-ball 50


AB de Villiers scored 79(29 Balls 4x6 and 6x6)and on the way he reached his fifty off 21 balls, the fastest for South Africa



AB De Villiers and  Hasim Amla made England's total of 171 look puny as they thrashed 125 runs in a 55-ball opening stand to guide South Africa to victory by 9 wickets after England collapsed in the second Twenty20 international at the Wanderers Stadium on Sunday February 21,2016

The ease of South Africa's win, which completed a 2-0 series victory, did not look a possibility while England captain Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler were pounding sixes in a fourth wicket stand of 96 off 55 balls.

England had reached 157 for three and seemed set for a total well in excess of 200.

But Buttler (54) and Morgan were out off successive balls and England lost their last 7 wickets for 14 runs after they had looked set to post a total in excess of 200.

England's collapse started when Buttler hit the third ball of the 17th over from Abbott into the covers where Du Plessis held a low catch, which had to be confirmed by the television umpire.

Jos Buttler made 54 Runs(28 balls 4x4 and 6x4)

Wickets tumbled, with Kyle Abbott finishing with 3/26,Chris Morris picked up two and Kagiso Rabada finished off the innings.

It was the last match of a tour during which England won a four-match Test series 2-1 and South Africa won a five-match one-day international series 3-2.
