What a cracking game that has been. Parallels between this and the famous 50-over game between South Africa and Australia also on this ground a few years back. An absolute thriller, exactly what T20 was designed for. And we still have another to come on Wednesday down in Durban. 1pm GMT start time again, so see you then...
Presentation time. Will du Plessis still pick up the Man of the Match award? Nope, it's Chris Gayle again!
Du Plessis must be gutted: "It's my first T20 hundred, you don't think they'll come along, but I struck it well today but it's bittersweet. I thought I was going to pass out at the end of my innings. I said at half time this game is very far from done, nothing it out of their reach. Obviously Gayle played so well up top, it's so difficult to contain him. We got him out and brought it back really well but the hitters keep coming. We didn't land our execution to start with but it's hard to control a yorker with the new ball. If you miss he punishes everything."
Darren Sammy with a big grin again: "At half-time all the boys were positive, we just had to break it down. Two guys had to get 50 striking at 190 and the rest had to chip in and that's what happened. To add the finishing touches was nice but I feel for Faf to play that innings and lose. Cricket was the winner today. We were dominated in the Tests but we have different energy in this series and this shows here why we've won a T20 World Cup, this is our format."
South Africa once again on the wrong end of a Gayle-force, finding no control with the ball, save a brief few overs from Imran Tahir. It means their efforts with the bat count for naught and Faf du Plessis' century has been in a losing cause - he deserved much better. It was the second-fastest T20 century as South Africa made their second-highest T20 score but it wasn't enough.
What an unbelievable chase, West Indies win by four wickets. The power hitters just kept coming for the tourists and even with the wicket they lost they were able to complete the record chase in a T20 international to seal the series 2-0. Chris Gayle once again was on fire, Marlon Samuels also played a cracking knock and the deadliest finisher in T20, Darren Sammy, was on hand to finish the job. You thought this chase was on, did anyone actually believe they would pull it off? They have and with something in hand too.
Final over, now it's de Lange but he's only got two runs in hand...
Most runs ever scored in the second innings of a T20I...
I don't think he'll get that many now, will he get any at all?
Other teams have matched South Africa's top order in terms of averages and run rates in ODIs in the last two years, but none has scored hundreds at the rate that South African batsmen have
