Newlands, 16 September 2007, group stage of the inaugural World T20: South Africa defended 154 to win by 19 runs. It has stayed close ever since. This is one of the few long-running T20I rivalries where the two sides are separated by a match or two rather than a decade of dominance, and it has grown steadily higher-scoring as the format has matured.

The defining match came at Old Trafford on 12 September 2025. England made 304 for 2, Phil Salt 141 not out, and won by 146 runs. No side had passed 300 in a T20 international between two Test-playing nations before, and it remains both the biggest total and the widest winning margin England have recorded in the format.

Before that the peaks had been South African - 241 for 6 at Centurion in 2009, 207 for 3 at Cardiff in 2022 in a home-and-away series that swung sharply between the sides. World Cup meetings have gone South Africa's way more often than not, including a seven-run win at Gros Islet in 2024. A remarkable number of these games have gone to the final over.
