That's the second-highest margin of victory in Twenty20 history. The first was Sri Lanka's mauling of Kenya in the World T20 two years back.

Hamilton: "Definitely a reality check. Yesterday we competed with a fantastic New Zealand team."

Smith: "Very enjoyable performance. Jacques played beautifully up front and AB played with good intensity."

AB de Villiers is the Man of the Match.

We apologise for those scoring errors. All rectified now. Thanks for your company. England v Pakistan will be up soon so stay online. Till then it's goodbye.
