Scotland v South Africa

South Africa completed the massacring of the minnows in group A by hammering Scotland. There were three great performances as Hall with 3 wickets and Smith with 91 runs came close to top place, but under-pressure Abraham Benjamin de Villiers finished top with his rapid 62, his catch and his run out. Smith's 4 points take him to the top of the points table after he was also runner-up in South Africa's first match. South Africa are also dominating the overall contribution table now with 5 of the top 10 players. 3 Australians, a New Zealander and a Kenyan make up the numbers.

Scorecard

5 AB de Villiers 114
4 GC Smith 103 (OMOM)
3 AJ Hall 100
