Hendricks scored 85 runs from 75 balls (9 fours and 3 sixes) and van der Dussan amassed 60 runs from 61 balls (8 fours).
However, the star batter of the inning was Heinrich Klaasen who played a blistering knock of 109 runs from just 67 balls, including 12 fours and 4 sixes.
Marco Jansen also displayed his unexpected batting skills as he scored 75 runs from just 42 balls which included 3 fours and 6 sixes.
From England, Reece Topley was the leading wicket-taker as he took 3 wickets in 8.5 overs while giving away 88 runs. Gus Atkinson and Adil Rashid took 2 wickets each.
