Johannesburg - Cricket South Africa (CSA) congratulated the Proteas on their 2-0 series win over England in the KFC T20 International Series on Sunday.

This followed their astonishing nine-wicket victory with 32 balls to spare in the final match at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium on Sunday.

“The Proteas were special today and deserve full congratulations on winning the T20 series,” commented CSA Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat. “It was a real privilege to have been at the Wanderers to witness a top-class all-round performance by our team.

“The Proteas have fought back well over the last few weeks and they can be proud of winning both the limited-over formats against England.

“I also want to take this opportunity to thank the England team for the excellent cricket they have played throughout the tour and look forward to meeting them again at the ICC World Twenty20 next month in our opening match.”
