| Scorecard |
England overcame an improved performance from South Africa to comfortably win the second Twenty20 by six wickets at Worcester.
Having made 111 in Thursday’s opening-game defeat, South Africa posted 148-6.
Anneke Bosch top-scored with 61 in a century stand with fellow opener Lara Goodall.
But the visitors slumped from 102-0 after teenager Alice Capsey took Goodall’s wicket in her first over in international cricket.
Katherine Brunt then became England’s leading wicket-taker in international T20s when she bowled Laura Wolvaardt in the final over for 21.
While it was a significant improvement on the batting performance at Chelmsford in the first T20, England completed another convincing win with an over to spare.
In reply, Sophia Dunkley continued her aggression at the top of the order with 23 from 15 balls, Danni Wyatt made 39 and Nat Sciver top-scored with 47 before she was run out.
Sciver was standing in as captain for the injured Heather Knight, who missed out with a hip injury less than a week before the start of the Commonwealth Games.
Victory meant England extended their lead to 12-2 in the multi-format series. The final T20 takes place at Derby on Monday at 18:30 BST and is live on BBC Two.
