Proteas Cricketers Stun West Indies With T20 Record Chase scrollaafrica: SouthAfrica
The visitors, fresh off the back of a win in the opener just a day prior, batted first and put a mammoth 258/5 on the board.
It was their highest ever T20 score in Centurion, with Johnson Charles' 118 off 46 the highlight of the first innings.Having departed for a golden duck on Saturday, Quinton de Kock gave South Africa the best of starts with a glorious century. Reeza Hendricks supported him at the other end, hitting 68 off just 28 balls on the occasion of his 50th T20 international.
At the back end of the innings, captain Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen finished things off in style, taking the hosts through to a six-wicket win to level the three-match series. As Bob Marley's"Three Little Birds" rang around the buzzing Supersport Park post-match, South African cricket fans around the country would have felt the lyrics. Perhaps"everything is gonna be alright" after all.
