Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>It will go down as one of the greatest Proteas victories in history.<\/p>\n

Set a sizeable 343 for victory and with their World Cup qualification hopes hanging on by a thread, few would have given the South Africans much chance at the innings break of the 2nd ODI against England in Bloemfontein on Sunday.<\/p>\n

What followed, however, was a run chase of the highest order and one of this country’s best.<\/p>\n

Skipper Temba Bavuma, under immense pressure from the South African cricket public, was brilliant, carding 109 (102) and getting his side into a position where they could pull off the improbable.<\/p>\n

This was Bavuma’s third ODI century, but as Ashwell Prince offered on SuperSport commentary, it could be his best and most important knock ever in national colours.<\/p>\n

“Bavuma, Bavuma, Bavuma!” the 10 000-plus fans at Mangaung Oval roared as the skipper celebrated his ton.<\/p>\n

David Miller (58* off 37) played a vintage Miller innings, seeing the Proteas over the line in superb fashion.<\/p>\n

The Proteas have now taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series and a significant step towards securing qualification for the 2023 World Cup in India later in the year.<\/p>\n

It was a cliffhanger, packed with drama, and here we take a look back and remember some of the action through our friends at Gallo Images.<\/p>\n
