The ODI series between Proteas and England ended with a 2-1 win for the Proteas. The series has been competitive and entertaining.
Proteas won the toss and chose to bowl. They started off well but then Buttler and Malan put together a partnership of 232 off 211. This partnership brought England right back into the match as they recovered from 14 for 3 to post 346-7 in their 50 overs.
In reply, the Proteas were always ahead of the scoring rate, the only problem was they lost wickets at regular intervals, which is why they ended up being bowled out for 287. Archer was the star picking up 6-40 of 9.1 overs. England won the match by 59 runs.
The Proteas can take a lot of positives from this series as they have given themselves a good chance to gain the last direct qualification spot.
