Dewald Brevis (Player of the Match): "I haven't really thought about the records but I feel grateful. I am happy we won today. That was the ultimate of today.
That's always the plan to win. We wanted to come back stronger after the first game. The boys played their part well, they nailed their plans and it was great to see it unfold.
They hit the ball hard so we had to be on it. We played well today so that's great."

Mitchell Marsh (Australia Captain): "I was just saying he mistimed a few sixes tonight. Heβs a young powerful man. Well played to him.
As I said, pre-game, we were comfortable with 200. We just couldnβt get partnerships going and well played to South Africa."

Aiden Markram (South Africa Captain): "Nice to take it to the third game. 1-0 down and better display from us tonight. Nice to get to the third game.
(On Brevis' knock) It was up there. The boys just found themselves laughing in the dugout. He hits them miles. Freakish display tonight and itβs great to see it paid off tonight.
He (Brevis) has actually played a lot of T20 cricket around the world. But a great ball-striker.
We know they (Australia) would come out hard. Just work hard and stick to the things and credit to the boys for holding the nerves and sticking to the plans.β
