South Africa captain Faf du Plessis: "We started very well, then it got away from us a little, but it was important how we came back. So that was important learning for us. There was great catching. We work a lot on it. Today was a good wicket for playing shots and AB played his 360 shots which made it easier for everyone else. I'm a very happy captain."

England captain Eoin Morgan: "We had two men at the crease who were in and from there 190-200 was on the cards, but the fact we didn't even get to 180 was disappointing. Then we started terribly with the ball. I'm not sure it's naivety, there was an element of bad luck. I'd rather be honest, we missed our length too much and we were punished. I honestly think [we are on the right track] and can win an ICC event, whether it's this one or in 2017."

For his five wickets in two matches, Imran Tahir is the Man of the Series. Tahir: "I'm really pleased for myself. My main goal is to do that as long as I can. I knew they would have a different gameplan today. It's been great talking to Faf about my plans. We are playing good cricket. It's a big honour to be part of a World Cup team for South Africa, maybe the pitches will suit spinners a bit more."

For his 29-ball 71, AB de Villiers is the Man of the Match. AB: "I really enjoy it up the order, you can just play normal cricket strokes and get value for them. I love playing here, the crowd is amazing, no different today and they pushed us over the line. Hopefully I can win a few games for the team."

England have now lost their last five international matches and South Africa have bounced back from losing the Test series to win the ODI and T20I series.

After a brilliant start, England collapsed to hand South Africa a chaseable target of 172. Once AB clicked, no target was going to be enough and his fastest T20I fifty set the platform for a comfortable nine-wicket win for the hosts.
