Intro:
South Africa captain AB de Villiers and century maker Hashim Amla reflect on their 72-run win over New Zealand to give them an unassailable 2-0 lead in their one day series.
Script:
SOUNDBITE: (English), AB de Villiers:
"Yes, very satisfying. We came here to win this series and we've achieved that so I am very, very proud of the guys. I thought it was a close to perfect performance today with bat and ball."
SOUNDBITE: (English), Hashim Amla:
"No not at all. Test innings! The conditions were - the New Zealanders bowled quite well - and it wasn't easy early on.
SOUNDBITE: (English), Hashim Amla:
The game kind of got easier to bat on, the wicket got easier to bat on. Certainly when AB and Faf (du Plessis) were around we build a partnership and at the end of the day it is all about the partnerships. It is not about any individual score - so fortunately we got some good partnerships."
SOUNDBITE: (English), AB de Villiers:
"Today was a completely different situation to the first game. The first game I was a little bit disappointed with the way that we didn't finish things off but today we had the game in the bag by the 35th over I felt. It is pretty normal to take your foot off the gas a little bit, which I don't think we did - it just got a little bit tough out there, the wind was pumping, I think the bowlers stiffened up a little bit towards the end and the competitive edge wasn't quite there. Which is normal. At the end of the day we won the game and I am very happy with a series win."
