For the second week in a row all-rounder Chris Morris conjured a victory for South Africa on Saturday, taking the hosts to a three-wicket win over England off the last ball of the first T20 at Newlands.
England looked set to defend a modest total as Reece Topley started the last over, with South Africa needing 15 runs to win.
Kyle Abbott stole a single to get Morris on strike. The tall Morris struck the next two balls for four and six. After a dot delivery, he hit twos off the last two balls. Topley had a chance to run out Abbott to force a tie and a super over but fumbled a throw from long-off.
Morris finished with 17 not out off seven balls. A week earlier his 62 off 38 balls was a match-winner.
The man of the match, though, was leg-spinner Imran Tahir, who took four for 21 to restrict England to 134 for eight after the tourists were sent in to bat.
