England captain Eoin Morgan went on a six-hitting spree to take his side to a series win in a high-scoring third and final Twenty20 International against South Africa at SuperSport Park on Sunday. Morgan slammed seven sixes in an innings of 57 not out off 22 balls as England chased down South Africa's 222 for six with five wickets and five balls to spare.

But Morgan had sympathy for the bowlers on a day when a capacity crowd were peppered with 28 sixes as the batsmen took advantage of a true pitch and the thin air of the South African highveld.

According to information obtained from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), India are to play 102 games in the next five years out of which two seasons will have very few home games.
