That's it from us from the second ODI between Namibia and South Africa. Firdose's report from the day will be up soon. Until then, we're wrapping up from here. Goodnight and goodbye!
Prenalen Subrayen, South Africa captain: "The guys really marshalled it well. Well done to Connor. Kind of set the base and platform for other guys. Each guy has their own processes and patterns. The guys had their plans. It's quite expected from Brevis to catch that!"
Gerhard Erasmus, Namibia captain: "That's quite a margin. We want to be competing strongly. There was a strong decision to bowl first and hopefully make inroads... it's a good scoring ground. It's really tough to defend. We need seven to eight guys stepping up on the day to run them close. Still lots to play for on Sunday for us."
Connor Esterhuizen is the Player of the Match: "It means a lot. The fact we got the win makes it more special. Once you kick in, you try to get a big score for your team. It's very important [to take your chance]."
Time for the presentations
4.57pm Namibia were never in the chase. Not much could ever be done from 1 for 3 in the fourth over in a chase of 336. Erasmus fought with a fifty, but that was as good as it got for Namibia against a dominant South Africa. The visitors go 2-0 up in the three-match series after Esterhuizen's 119 and de Zorzi's 79 set it up with the bat, and Jansen and Bosch laid the foundation with the ball. Hang around for the presentations.

Bosch to Trumpelmann, OUT, gone!! Bosch has his third. South Africa win by 167 runs, and seal the series. The ball dipped onto Trumpelmann, who went low try and swipe at it across the line, but missed. It hit the stumps, and that was it

Bosch replaces Peter.
