In the highly anticipated Match 20 of the 2023 ODI World Cup, England and South Africa faced off at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. At the batting paradise wicket of the Wankhede Stadium, fans witnessed South Africa's batting prowess on full display. They had a shaky start with the early departure of Quinton de Kock, and England bowlers, Reece Topley and David Willey, initially had a firm grip on the game.

However, Topley's unfortunate finger injury and the disappearance of swing allowed South Africa to make a comeback. Reeza Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen took advantage of the true pitch and shorter boundaries, effortlessly accumulating runs. Adil Rashid, England's leg-spinner, temporarily halted South Africa's charge by dismissing both well-set batters in quick succession.

Stand-in captain, Aiden Markram, and Klaasen then took charge, guiding the innings back on track with their middle-order expertise. The Proteas, known for their dominance in the middle overs, showcased their boundary-hitting skills. Despite a few setbacks, the partnership between Klaasen and Jansen towards the end gained momentum. The final ten overs were a revelation, as South Africa scored 143 runs, showcasing their relentless assault on England's bowlers.

The death overs saw England's bowlers struggle with wayward deliveries, resulting in a flurry of boundaries and sixes as South Africa posted an imposing 399/7 on the scoreboard.

In pursuit of 400, England appeared out of sorts right from the start. South Africa's fiery bowling attack wreaked havoc, dismantling the English batting lineup. Batters struggled to find their footing as wickets fell at regular intervals. Led by Gerald Coetzee with three wickets, Lungi Ngidi, and Marco Jansen with two each, the Proteas bowlers ran through the English lineup, limiting them to a mere 170 runs and the margin of victory, a resounding 229 runs, showcased South Africa's dominance in the match.
