Scott Edwards collect Man of the Match award

Scott Edwards | Man of the Match: "Over the last couple of games too many of our middle order batters were being out before the end of the game, so I wanted to take it deep and hope a couple of guys around me chip in and we are lucky enough to get that score in the end.

"He's (Roelof van der Merwe) good fun to bat with, he runs hard and hits into some strange areas which is good fun to watch from the other end.it I just got him (Aryan Dutt) on strike and he was clearing the ropes, he's got the talent and it's all there to see tonight.

"Proud of the group. We came into the tournament where we wanted to have a chance in the semi finals and if you wanna do that you gotta beat teams and South Africa are one of the favourites the way they are playing, so it is a good win for us."
