    10.6 Slower one is skied off the toe, and Phehlukwayo has the skipper. RVD runs to the right from cover and takes a low catch while sliding on his knee. Gives a big hug to the bowler. Phehlukwayo kept it away from King's hitting arc, had him reaching out to the full and wide ball again. King, on one knee, tried to launch it over cover while on one knee but fell. Good innings overall though 115/2
    3.4 First T20I wicket for Baartman! Full length delivery slightly outside off, Charles hits this towards deep square leg fence but only to be caught by Rickelton near the rope 36/1
    13.3 Coetzee gets Mayers with the quicker one. Think the speedometer said 138ks and it looked like a cross-seamer. Ball angled in and Mayers went for a straightish launch, through the line, but sautéed it to long-off 134/3

    14.1 Off pole decked. Oh, that seamed in too. Phehlukwayo is pumped. That landed around a length in line with fourth and Fletcher stepped down and tried pulling across the line. A shot fraught with danger with the bounce being uneven. This one wasn't just low but also had lateral movement. He stood no chance 135/4
    14.4 Looks out, and given! Allen is walking but signals the T. Looks like Chase persuaded him there. All smiles in the SA camp. Did it strike him outside the line? No, the back of lengther hit him in front of off and would go onto crash into the stumps. Allen is another victim of trying to work it across the line. He went across towards fourth stump and tried clipping it with a loose right knee. Got hit on the knee-roll and that was goodnight 137/5
    16.1 Another shooter gets a wicket. Not much Hosein could've done there, especially after going on the back foot to a fullish length ball that was jagging back at 134ks. He was deep in the crease and was swindled by the low bounce. Looked like the wobble ball. Lots of similarities to a Stuart Broad delivery 151/6
    18.6 Knuckle-ball? Maybe, comes in off a shortish length and Forde tries to launch a pull square of the wicket. Can only balloon it to Phehlukwayo running across in the deep 165/7
    19.5 Brilliant leap from Ngidi to collect a high throw and plonk the ball into the stumps. Motie was charging towards the finish line but fell short. Chase retains strike though. Was an excellent shot though. Length ball around off that was pumped over the bowler. 174/8

    0.2 QDK has to depart! Forde is elated. Full length delivery outside off, there is no foot movement from the batter as he nicks it to the keeper 4/1
    19.4 Skied to cow corner, Hendricks won't ton up. Back-of-hand slower one was full and at the stumps, Hendricks' cleared coast and tried to smeared it with a swoosh across the line. Could only balloon it to Mayers 147/9
    1.4 West Indies are celebrating! Is Rickelton out? Full length delivery pitched outside leg, there little bit of turn, he moves away and back to push forward. Misses. Keeper collects it quickly and removes the bails. Rickelton is just short of the crease! Oh, you poor thing. 11/2
    4.4 Shamar Joseph strikes! SA are three down inside the powerplay. It's a length delivery from outside off, swings in sharply, he shuffles a bit to put this away to fine leg, misses, gets hit on front pad. Looks plumb. SA review this decision. Three reds light up. A disappointed Breetzke departs. Joseph screams his heart out 35/3
    10.1 Van der Dussen looks like an addition to the list of batters falling in the attempt to manufacture a shot on this pitch. Given lbw, he reviews. He went across and was on one knee for the reverse sweep - back leg outside off and front leg on off. The ball is around a length, pitched outside off and hit the outer-edge of the left thigh. Impact is in line with off and it'd go on to crash middle. Plumb deluxe 77/4
    10.5 Motie seemed to have erred on the shorter side but has Mulder pull it straight to cow corner. Allen takes a tumbling catch and stands nonchalantly with hands folded in celebration. Was a slow, shortish ball that landed outside off and ragged away. It's the turn and bounce that Mulder couldn't adjust for. His eyes seemed to light up after the tight first three balls. So, the front foot went out of the way to power the pull, but he had to check the shot a bit and couldn't middle it 78/5
    13.6 Phehlukwayo's struggle ends, WI have made the most of it as he finishes with 4 off 11. McCoy pulled his length back and kept it wide. Phehlukwayo was happy to try and drag it across but flat-batted it straight to deep midwicket. He falls with the asking rate climbing to 13.33 96/6
    14.4 Dream ball made to look even better by Fortuin being bamboozled. Length ball drifting in towards leg stump, 96ks, but only to turn away upon landing. Fortuin had exposed all the stumps but decided he had to try and defend that as it was too good a ball. Tried pushing it towards cover, ball ended hitting top of off. Motie pumps his fists after striking again in a match-defining spell 107/7
    15.4 Spliced, and taken at extra cover. WI inch nearer to victory! Coetzee taking the aggressive gamble, charged down the pitch and made a bit of room but only to be followed by the rising hard-length ball. He got cramped but committed to the flat-bat forehand, ball ballooned off the splice for King to take a dolly 108/8

    19.5 Gorgeous yorker to finish the game. This is WI's biggest win vs SA, informs Samuel Badree. 131ks blockhole ball landed just in front of the crease, beat Baartman's swing through the line, and rocked middle stump 147/10
