South Africa v West Indies, 2nd T20, Johannesburg
West Indies seal series in thriller
West Indies chose the bowl first on was set for a big-scoring day at the Wanderers. They began well with two early wickets but it masked the carnage to come. Andre Russell managed to escape with conceding fewer than 40 in four overs...•Associated Press
West Indies' bowlers quickly lost all control as the boundaries flowed. Du Plessis and David Millar added 105 at almost 13-an-over •Associated Press
But where there's Chris Gayle there is always hope and he began in ominous fashion and was quickly to a half-century in 20 balls as West Indies took 86 from the Powerplay - the second-highest haul in T20 internationals•Associated Press
Faf du Plessis was the chief instigator, following his excellent innings in Cape Town. But this time he kicked on past fifty in a scintilating display of hitting•Associated Press
And du Plessis went through to a century in just 46 balls - the second-fastest for South Africa only a ball slower than Richard Levi's world record. It powered South Africa to a mighty 231 for 7•Associated Press
Marlon Samuels played the perfect foil to Gayle, reaching his own fifty from 29 balls but with the chase seemingly under control, West Indies again slipped as South Africa sensed a way back into the match•Associated Press
South Africa would have been confident of defending such a big total and Marchant de Lange had Dwayne Smith lbw early on•Associated Press
But Darren Sammy is perhaps the deadliest finisher in T20 and he delivered the coup de grace with a flurry of boundaries, finishing off the chase off in style with a six over midwicket - it completed the highest successful pursuit in a T20 international. Quite a game•Associated Press
