In the end, Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klassen took responsibility and finished off the game by remaining unbeaten on 38 and 16 runs respectively. Quinton de Kock was adjudged Player of the Match for his match-winning knock of 100 runs.

He shared a few words during the post-match presentation. "Quite special. Just he did what Reeza does. It was quite special out there. Just pick the right options, just give our side a bit of hope and that is what we needed.

Playing at Centurion, we know we can get a lot of runs here. The ball travels here quite a bit. We knew we could catch up here and especially with the nature of the wicket. It was quite a road out there.

(On scoring his first T20I ton) Quite special, I have been searching for it for a while. We don't play too much T20I cricket at Centurion but to do that at my home ground was quite special," Quinton de Kock was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
