In a display of African sporting excellence that continues to challenge traditional power dynamics in international sports, South Africa's cricket team has maintained their impressive momentum against England, securing a decisive 14-run victory in the first T20I match.
Dominance Continues After ODI Success
The Proteas, having already demonstrated their superiority with a 2-1 victory in the ODI series, have pushed England to a historic low of 8th place in the ODI rankings.
