That's all from our side for this game. See you soon.

Kieron Pollard, who the Player of the Match as well: In a game like this, you have to come hard. It was a must-win game for us. I hadn't faced enough deliveries in the last few games, so gave myself a bit of time. We speak about batting till the end, and we have power-hitters till the end. It's not a perfect world but we got the result in the end. I think we did fairly well in the powerplay. For us, it's about regrouping again and give it one more push. We knew we had to make up Allen's overs. Having McCoy and Bravo do well and Russell bowling his four overs was great. [On Gayle's quip of not getting another over straightaway] That's why he got the last over and he was supposed to get a wicket. He didn't and we need to have chat now. He [Bravo] has nothing to prove. We need to cherish these guys because at times we hear a lot of chatter from outside.

Temba Bavuma: I think looking at our bowling display, majority of the innings we bowled well but in three overs we didn't hit our straps well. But they came hard at us at the death. Our spinners came to the fore and they stopped things in the middle apart from picking up wickets. The conditions have suited the slower bowlers, seamers too have been resorting to cutters. The momentum was on their side but as batters, we are disappointed. Quinton was the lone ranger.

5.55pm So, West Indies draw level as a total of 160-odd proves to be just enough for the third game in a row and this time South Africa end on the wrong side. They have been depending de Kock a lot and need others to step up as well with bat. West Indies put up an excellent show with the ball despite losing Fabian Allen to a shoulder injury. Bravo finished with 4 for 19, while Russell picked up two. But the win was set up by a blazing half-century from Kieron Pollard, who chipped in with a wicket as well.
