W
Akeal Hosein to Quinton de Kock
OUT! CAUGHT! Finally, West Indies manage to get rid of Quinton de Kock but it hardly matters now. What a knock, what entertainment from the southpaw and rightly so, he gets a big round of applause from everyone inside the stadium. Akeal Hosein takes a bit of pace off here and floats it wide outside off. De Kock steps out and goes chasing after it but the bat turns in his hand. The ball gets sliced over the cover region, where Brandon King takes a few steps back and pouches it. QDK departs after a scintillating 115 off just 49 balls.

SIX! Wow, what a way to notch up a HUNDRED from Quinton de Kock. Fullish length on the pads, de Kock picks it up and plays that classic flick up and over deep square leg for a maximum. A 2nd T20I ton here at SuperSport Park for QDK and a second one against West Indies as well. He's back, alright!

OUT! TAKEN! Matthew Forde is absolutely pumped and he should be, as he sends the Protea captain packing. Forde serves it a tad short and angles it into the body. Aiden Markram gets his hands out in front, probably a bit too much and ends up snatching at the pull shot. The ball travels flat and to the left of deep backward square leg, where Shimron Hetmyer just about manages to pouch it. Markram departs for 15 (12).

DRINKS BREAK! Well, we all know what happened last time when these two teams played each other in Centurion and today seems to be no different. A big score on the board by West Indies but South Africa seem to be making lightwork of it. They need exactly 100 more runs in the last 10 overs to seal the series. The Windies need wickets and they need them in a heap. Let's see if the tide can turn in the final 10 overs. Also, Akeal Hosein comes into the attack now.

Jayden Seales (1-0-13-0) is back on.

Change in bowling. Jason Holder is back into the attack. Can he stem the run flow?

Oh, wait! One of the floodlights at SuperSport Park has gone out. This will give the West Indies a chance to regroup, as only 45 runs are needed in 36 balls. The power is back. Will this break South Africa's momentum? Let's find out.

End of a juggernaut partnership. Quinton de Kock walks back to a standing ovation. Sounds like more trouble for West Indies as Dewald Brevis walks to the middle with run-a-ball 33 needed.

The next batter is in. It is Jason Smith, in at number 5.

That's a wrap, folks! Just one more game to go before both South Africa and West Indies take off for the T20 World Cup in India/Sri Lanka. The series is well and done, and for the first time since early 2024, the Proteas have managed to win a bilateral T20I series. They are peaking at the right time, but the Windies too have a few in-form players but need more of a team effort going forward. The third and final T20I will be played at the iconic Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Saturday, 31 January. It will be a 'Pink Day' at the Wanderers, which means the hosts will be seen in their changed stripes as they raise awareness for breast cancer. The game will begin at 4 pm GMT, but you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up as well. Until then, take care and goodbye!

Matthew Forde to Aiden Markram
FIVE WIDES! That is a howler to start from Matthew Forde. Fuller in length, lands it miles down the leg side and it swings further away from the keeper, rolling into the fine leg fence. South Africa are up and running.

Matthew Forde to Aiden Markram
Much better from Forde. Hard length, bowled on middle, Aiden Markram tucks it towards mid-wicket and picks up a single to get off the mark.

Matthew Forde to Quinton de Kock
Tap and run, Quinton de Kock is off the mark as well. Forde comes around the wicket to the left-hander and pitches it fuller outside off. De Kock taps it to backward point and gets across to the other end.

Matthew Forde to Aiden Markram
Just back of a length and outside off. Markram stands tall and plays a high-elbow punch down to covers.

Matthew Forde to Aiden Markram
Can't get it away, and Forde comes back with three dot balls. Short of a length and outside off, Markramsmacks it away but straight to cover-point.

Matthew Forde to Aiden Markram
A full-pitched delivery on leg, Markram flicks it to deep square leg for a single. South Africa are 8/0 after the first over of the chase.
