	South Africa innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	GC Smith*	c †Smith b Haq	38	44	29	6	1	131.03
	9.6 a double-wicket over! Smith attempts a shot very similar to his opening partner, he gets on his knee for a slog sweep but gets a thick top edge and the keeper Smith jogs to his right and takes the easiest of catches 88/2
	JH Kallis	b Haq	48	41	31	8	0	154.83
	9.3 he gives it a lot of air outside off and tempts Kallis to go for the hoick on his knees, a little too ambitious in the end as he gets a thick inside edge onto his stumps, he looked set for a fifty but it's been a quality innings 87/1
	HH Gibbs	st †Smith b Watson	16	11	14	0	0	114.28
	14.3 another wicket falls to the offspinner, he gives it a lot of air and Gibbs dances down the pitch and fails to get behind the line, easy stumping for Smith, Watson was bowling round the wicket 125/3
	AB de Villiers	not out	79	35	34	5	6	232.35
	JA Morkel	c Coetzer b Drummond	24	14	11	1	2	218.18
	17.4 He bowls a low full toss but Morkel fails to get completely underneath it, the ball spoons off the toe of the bat and lands down long-off's throat 176/4
	MV Boucher†	c Coetzer b Drummond	2	2	3	0	0	66.66
	19.1 one of the most stunning catches you will ever see! Boucher makes room and scoops him down to long-on and the ball appeared to be heading over the rope but Coetzer leapt up, stuck his right hand out and pulled off a stunner while falling backwards, he lands just before the rope, reminds me of Vasbert Drakes' catch in the 2003 World Cup 195/5
	JP Duminy	not out	0	1	0	0	0	-
	Extras	(w 1, nb 3)	4

	Scotland innings (target: 212 runs from 20 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	GM Hamilton*	c Duminy b Parnell	5	10	6	1	0	83.33
	1.5 he mixes the length by dropping it shorter and Hamilton shapes to biff it over the on side but he tamely mishits it to Duminy at short square-leg, Hamilton was hurried onto the shot 10/2
	RR Watson	b Steyn	4	4	4	1	0	100.00
	0.5 Watson exposes his stumps yet again to probably slam him over the off side but he's beaten for pace and the ball clips the top of the middle stump 6/1
	NS Poonia	run out (Parnell/†Boucher)	0	8	1	0	0	0.00
	2.2 Steyn to Coetzer, squirts out a fast yorker past the tiny window past backward point and cover point, the placement is good but the running is anything but, the fielder at cover point runs backwards fires the throw to the keeper, the batsmen amble through for the second run and there's hesitation for the third 13/3
	KJ Coetzer	c & b van der Merwe	42	44	32	1	3	131.25
	14.1 drops the ball on a good length on seeing the batsman advance, Coetzer makes room, chips down the track and but doesn't quite get to the pitch of the ball and as a result he miscues the loft, van der Merwe sprints to his right and catches it over his head 79/7
	CJO Smith†	b Steyn	0	1	1	0	0	0.00
	2.3 Scotland are looking really helpless here, Steyn fires a fast yorker on the legstump and Smith is kind enough to expose it, the death rattle follows and the leg stump is flattened 13/4
	NFI McCallum	b Botha	8	13	16	1	0	50.00
	6.5 the stumps are a royal mess! Botha fires it very fast and flat, the ball lands on the blockhole and McCallum ends up playing all around it and looks back to see his leg stump splattered a yard or two away and the middle stump pushed back 35/5
	JH Stander	lbw b Botha	2	4	6	0	0	33.33
	8.2 fires it full and quick again and Stander shapes to sweep but fails to make contact, the straighter delivery hits his back leg on the full and that's plumb 41/6
	RM Haq	b van der Merwe	15	18	20	0	0	75.00
	14.2 make that two in two, he fires this one full and flat on the stumps and Haq plays all around it and loses his offstump 79/8

	GD Drummond	b Morkel	1	6	2	0	0	50.00
	15.1 fires it full and wide outside off, he makes a lot of room and drags it back onto his off stump 81/9

	15.4 timber! lands on middle and leg and pretty much goes straight through the gate, the ball clips the leg stump 81/10
