South Africa are back on track again and proved why they are considered one of the best teams in the ongoing World Cup. Just a few days ago, they experienced a crushing defeat to the Netherlands.

It was a complete team effort from SA, who outclassed Jos Buttler’s English army in all three departments of the game. The only thing that England won, was the toss. However, the decision to put SA into bat boomeranged as they posted a mammoth 399-7 in the allotted 50 overs.
