It was the last match of the England tour of South Africa in 2016. South Africa had lost the test series, but won the ODI series and were leading the two-match T20 series by 1-0. A win would give them the T20 series.

Batting first, England had posted a total of 171 which looked competitive until AB de Villiers started his show. AB came to open the innings with Hashim Amla and made his intentions clear from the first ball itself by hitting it to the boundary.

AB de Villiers sent the ball into the stands and even into the parking lot. His innovative hitting at the Wanderers saw him make 71 off just 29 balls with six sixes and six fours.

As a result of the destructive batting display of AB de Villiers, South Africa reached the total in just 14.4 overs and won the match by nine wickets. Without a doubt, de Villiers was chosen as the player of the match.
