"Pretty happy with the performance as a whole, says Markram. "A couple of overs here and there we need to tidy up. I think you always feel you need more runs. But the wicket definitely changes and gets a bit slower, and they were a lot less sloppy. A couple of lessons to take, but nice for the batters to be in the middle and get some runs, especially for Quinny to really get his flow."

"Hard to take a defeat after coming so close," says Aaron Jones. "But we did lack discipline in the bowling at times. Once we play good cricket we can beat any team in the world. But we need to be a lot more disciplined."

Quinton de Kock is player of the match. "We've had some tricky wickets so it was nice to spend sometime in the middle today. The USA put us under pressure towards the end. It was a great game.

"We've still got a couple more games to win. Different venue, different surfaces. Never know what you're going to get out there."

Snake Eyes: "As lucky as the Springboks at the last World Cup!!" Rather be lucky than good, I'd imagine

taj: "Ice cold over from Rabada, that. Wow. Surely PoTM given the context? " Think de Kock's runs were quite useful too!

Nortje to Jasdeep Singh, no run, full and straight, smacked to mid-off and they don't even bother running as South Africa seal an 18-run victory. The USA gave them a scare, but South Africa were the dominant side for much of this game, and are now five in five at this World Cup

RiwajAdhikari: "If you ask me honestly, I feel South Africa have already used up their slot of allotted luck of this tournament in the first 4 league games. Now onwards, anything can happen." They've won by being the better side today though

19.5

Nortje to Gous, 1 run, wide outside off and it's guided down to deep point
19.4
4
Nortje to Gous, FOUR, thick outside edge that bounces just in front of short third. He can't properly collect and it flies over him and away to the boundary
19.3

Nortje to Gous, no run, backs away but Nortje follows him at pace, and Gous can only slap it back to Nortje. Mathematically impossible now if South Africa bowl no wides or no-balls
19.2
1
Nortje to Jasdeep Singh, 1 run, pace and back of a length, slapped to deep cover for a single

Amnah : "Oh Danyal! That would be so Pakistan of South Africa"

19.1
1
Nortje to Gous, 1 run, makes room and carves it to cover, and they do decide to take the single, weirdly

Venkat: "SA have the tendency to get beaten by a fellow Southafrican and its happening too many times now..KP, Grant Elliot, Van der Merwe to name a few!"
