Smart Stats

---Dale Steyn's figures of 4 for 17 were his best in World T20s. He has taken 26 wickets at 15.84 with an economy of 6.24 in the tournament.

---Steyn bowled 16 dot balls in this match, equalling the second-highest number of dots most he has bowled in a T20I. He bowled 18 against Zimbabwe in the 2012 World T20. Charl Langeveldt's 19 dot-balls against Afghanistan in the 2010 World T20 are the most by a South African.

---JP Duminy's unbeaten 86 is his second-highest score in T20Is and also the second-highest by a No. 5 batsman. Joe Root's unbeaten 90 against Australia in 2013 is the highest.

---Duminy completed 200 T20I runs against New Zealand. He is the only South Africa batsman with 200-plus runs against a team, and has done it against two other teams - Pakistan and Australia.

---AB de Villiers' wicket was Nathan McCullum's 50th in T20Is. He is one of only eight bowlers to take 50 wickets or more.

---Ross Taylor hit his fastest T20I fifty, off 26 balls. His previous fastest was off 30 balls, against Sri Lanka in the 2007 World T20. Martin Guptill's 23-ball fifty against Pakistan is the fastest fifty by a New Zealand batsman.

Faf banned for slow over rate

South Africa captain Faf Du Plessis and Sri Lanka skipper Dinesh Chandimal have been banned for one game at the World T20 after committing their second over-rate offences in 12 months.

Both teams were one over short of their target in Thursday's matches against Netherlands and England respectively, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a statement on Friday.

Du Plessis will miss the tussle with England on Saturday while Chandimal is sidelined for Sri Lanka's final Super 10 contest against New Zealand on Monday.

South Africa were also fined for being two overs short against New Zealand on Monday while Sri Lanka were short by one over against New Zealand in a 2013 match at Pallekele.

A captain found guilty of two minor over-rate offences in the same format within a period of 12 months receives an immediate one-match suspension.

Du Plessis and Chandimal have also been fined 20 per cent of their match fees and their players have received 10 per cent fines.
