- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.4 slower ball on the stumps, lifted leg side and hasn't got enough on this and deep midwicket takes the catch coming a few yards off the rope to take a straightforward catch. Hendricks had been quiet for a little bit and falls trying to force the pace and Nelson strikes 111/117.6 superb yorker, angled in from wide on the crease, beats the batsman for pace and bowls him! Gets it bang on line, cramping Wiese for room looking to clip leg side, it tailed in a bit too, striking the boot and deflecting the ball into the middle and leg stumps, excellent delivery. Not a wild impact from the promoted Wiese 158/218.5 back of a length, tries to heave it over the leg side but it's on him quickly and he slaps it straight up in the air, keeper v short long leg for the catch and it's Fletcher who takes it. Solid catch but had to nudge his team-mate out of the way to get there. Nowhere near the connection required from the batsman 171/3Extras11 (lb 1, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL195/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9.75)Fall of wickets: 1-111 (Reeza Hendricks, 12.4 ov), 2-158 (David Wiese, 17.6 ov), 3-171 (Rilee Rossouw, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 tossed up, bowled him, leg stump pegged back! Smith just seemed to miss a straight one, didn't move the feet and tried to lump Phangiso out the park... skids through and SA have their first wicket 48/18.4 comes forward again, hits through the line... but it's not going to clear long-on! Simmons misses out on a half-century and South Africa tighten their grip. Cleared the front leg and was looking to hit this into the crowd but Wiese had bowled a leg cutter, it held up a bit and flew straight to the fielder on the rope 68/36.6 cutter, coming back at Samuels, who steers the ball straight to point! Wiese charges off in celebration, that's a big wicket and an excellent over. Samuels tried to make room to go inside out but mistimed the shot, a thickish outside edge flew to Ontong on the edge of the ring 60/29.3 backs away and carves a big outside edge down to third man - Parnell strikes! Desultory from Fletcher, didn't know where he was going to get runs and just had a hack, then ran into Parnell in his follow through, too 71/412.2 top-edged hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggghhhh into the sky, Wiese has another! Bravo was trying to hammer this over the leg side but was done by the lack of pace, hand came off the bat and the ball spiralled up and down into the waiting gloves of van Wyk, who had jogged over to backward square leg 84/513.6 length ball, Russell toe-ends this up into the night sky... and Ontong takes a good running catch, almost colliding with Phangiso in the process! Not the best calling there, I think, it was actually harder for Ontong, as he was running back, but he took it well 100/616.3 tries to cut but it's too close, top-edged to backward point! That's pretty much a wrap, Wiese has his fourth wicket, best bowling in T20Is. Had to manufacture the power, again the cutter coming back in, miscued to the edge of the circle 114/716.6 length ball on the stumps, Brathwaite spanks it straight to deep midwicket! That's five for Wiese... They've been trying to hit the cover off him all night but still West Indies are none the Wiese 116/818.4 full and straight, tries to get his feet out of the way... and chips to mid-on! He was set to hit down the ground but completely mistimed it, looped the ball up to Duminy 125/918.6 full and straight, bowled him! The stumps go zing as Cottrell is defeated all ends up, that finishes it off in style - South Africa win by 69 runs and pull back some respectability, losing the series 2-1 126/10Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL126 all out (19 Overs, RR: 6.63)Fall of wickets: 1-48 (Dwayne Smith, 5.1 ov), 2-60 (Marlon Samuels, 6.6 ov), 3-68 (Lendl Simmons, 8.4 ov), 4-71 (Andre Fletcher, 9.3 ov), 5-84 (Dwayne Bravo, 12.2 ov), 6-100 (Andre Russell, 13.6 ov), 7-114 (Daren Sammy, 16.3 ov), 8-116 (Carlos Brathwaite, 16.6 ov), 9-125 (Ashley Nurse, 18.4 ov), 10-126 (Sheldon Cottrell, 18.6 ov)
