Matthew Forde to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR! Such a pleasing shot to watch that! Fuller in length and around off, not a half-volley though, Reeza Hendricks presses back and leans into the drive before caressing the ball through covers for another boundary.

Matthew Forde to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR! Reeza Hendricks is finding gaps in the field for fun at the moment. Back of a length and around off, Hendricks stands tall and punches the ball on the up and gets it between covers and mid off as the ball speeds away to the fence.

Roston Chase to Reeza Hendricks, SIX! BANG! Just a classy-looking shot from Reeza Hendricks and when he is in full flow, it is just a treat to the eyes. Tossed up full and around off, Hendricks leans on but adjusts his hips and just wristfully lifts it over long off for a biggie.

Roston Chase to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR! Just over! Quicker one, darted in around off, Reeza Hendricks looks to stay leg side of the ball and hammers it over mid off but gets it flat and just out of reach of a scampering Gudakesh Motie to find the fence yet again.

Roston Chase to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR! Put away with disdain and 23 come off that over. Poor bowling from Roston Chase as he serves a half-volley down the leg side, Hendricks sits down and swats the sweep away well behind square leg for four more runs.

Shamar Joseph to Ryan Rickelton, SIX! Plenty of open spaces on the leg side but it doesn't matter as that's gone all the way. Pitched up, quite full and on middle and leg, Ryan Rickelton just backs away and picks it up, lofting it high and just over wide long on for a biggie.

Shamar Joseph to Ryan Rickelton, OUT! CAUGHT! Matthew Forde just about manages to hang on and West Indies finally manage to break this opening stand. Shamar Joseph goes pace off and bowls the off cutter, short and over leg stump. Ryan Rickelton looks to take it on but gets hurried a bit off the deck and ends up pulling it flat and behind square. The ball travels quickly to deep backward square leg where Forde gets on his knees and takes a fine low catch. End of a quickfire 63-run stand between Rickelton and Hendricks.

Shamar Joseph to Aiden Markram, FOUR! Wow, what a shot to get off the mark on the first ball as well. Pitched up on the stumps, Aiden Markram gets on the front foot and plays a eye-catching straight drive, right off the middle of the bat and gets it past the diving fielder at mid on for a boundary.

Romario Shepherd to Reeza Hendricks, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Romario Shepherd strikes in the final over of the powerplay and South Africa have now lost both their openers in a quick succession! Romario Shepherd stays over the pegs and lands it well outside off, on a fullish length. Reeza Hendricks covers the stumps by going back and across. He tries to slash it through the covers but plays it way away from his body with minimal footwork, and ends up inside edging it into the stumps. A blistering knock from Reeza Hendricks comes to an end. Shepherd, bowling the most difficult over of the powerplay, strikes gold.

Shamar Joseph to Aiden Markram, SIX! Oh, what a powerful hit this is from Markram! Shamar Joseph pitches it slightly outside off on a fractionally fuller length, Aiden Markram stays deep inside the crease and swings his bat vertically and deposits it behind the deep mid-wicket fence for a six. That looked absolutely effortless from Markram.

Shamar Joseph to Aiden Markram, FOUR! All the work in the deep goes in vain! Pitched up, Aiden Markram firmly drives it off the front foot through the covers. Powell, in the deep, puts in a slide and even manages to intercept the ball but eventually contacts the boundary rope with the momentum of the slide with his ball in hand.

Romario Shepherd to Aiden Markram, OUT! LBW! An appeal for LBW and given! Aiden Markram though reviews it and challenges the on-field decision! Romario Shepherd hurls it closer to the body from over the wickets, and lands it on the good length, nipping back in a long way into the batter. Aiden Markram is totally left searching for room and attempts to swipe it across the line, and ends up getting rapped on the pads. UltraEdge shows nothing and the Ball Tracking comes up with the ball clipping the leg stump on the umpire's call. The on-field decision stays. South Africa won't lose a review but they do lose their skipper Aiden Markram. West Indies right back into the contest with this wicket. Romario Shepherd gets his second scalp. South Africa have now slipped to 86/3.

Gudakesh Motie to Tristan Stubbs, SIX! BANG! No boundaries in the last three overs and Tristan Stubbs has had enough. Motie floats the ball up in the slot around off, Stubbs gets down on one knee and makes some room before clobbering the ball over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.

Akeal Hosein to Tristan Stubbs, OUT! CAUGHT! That could be massive in the context of the game and Akeal Hosein has broken a 42-run stand here! Hosein darts the ball in a bit, full and around off but this one just grips slightly in the surface. Tristan Stubbs hangs deep and clears the front leg looking to go across the line and against the turn but ends up skewing the ball high towards long off. The substitute fielder there, Fabian Allen takes a watchful catch just inside the ropes moments after coming onto the field. Stubbs goes for 28 (24) and South Africa are now 4 down.

14.4
Gudakesh Motie to Donovan Ferreira, OUT! STUMPED! The tide is turning in favor of the home side as South Africa now lose half their side. Cleverly bowled by Gudakesh Motie as he drags the length back a bit and slows it up, allowing the ball to grip the deck. This is bowled around middle and turns away sharply. Donovan Ferreira looks to come down the pitch but gets nowhere near the pitch of the ball and ends up walking past it. Nicholas Pooran whips off the bails and it is an easy stumping for him. Motie does get rewarded for a tidy spell of bowling here.

15.6
Akeal Hosein to Rassie van der Dussen, OUT! TAKEN! Akeal Hosein with that much-needed breakthrough. The two spinners in tandem have run through the South African middle order. Rassie van der Dussen was really itching to get off the blocks but holes out eventually. Akeal Hosein provides more revolutions by tossing it, full and on the middle and leg. Rassie van der Dussen is lured into the shot as he sees the ball into his hitting zone and goes through the shot a bit early. Hence, he mistimes and also loses his shape. Airs the ball straight towards Shamar Joseph at deep mid-wicket. The West Indies have clawed their way back into this contest now.

16.6
Shamar Joseph to Bjorn Fortuin, OUT! BULL'S EYE! What a wonderful and smart set up from Shamar Joseph! He kept bowling outside off and bowled this one right back into the batter. Shamar Joseph nails a pinpoint yorker right in front of the base of the middle stump with an upright seam position. Bjorn Fortuin backs away to stay leg side of the ball and is months late to bring his bat down in time. The ball breaks into the stumps and Shamar Joseph's joy knows no bounds. This is a remarkable comeback from the Windies.

17.2
Romario Shepherd to Patrick Kruger, OUT! TAKEN! Romario Shepherd gets his third wicket and this has been a brave piece of bowling from this young lad! Full and outside the off stump, Patrick Kruger bends a bit low is down on one knee, and looks to open the bat face for a lofted shot, but ends up slicing it off the toe end aerially straight to deep cover. Shai Hope patrolling the deep cover region makes no mistake and takes a brilliant catch. Patrick Kruger, the recognized batter departs and the West Indies are well and truly in the dominating position now.

18.4
Shamar Joseph to Lizaad Williams, OUT! LBW! A huge confident appeal for LBW and the umpire raises the finger! Lizaad Williams though reviews it. Shamar Joseph charges in from around the stumps and bowls a slower one, straight and fractionally full around middle and off, Lizaad Williams covers the line by shuffling a bit outside off and looks to work it across to the leg side but plays it down the wrong line. Ends up getting trapped in front. Ball Tracking comes up with three reds and these are the best figures for Shamar Joseph in T20Is.

Matthew Forde to Ottneil Baartman, OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Done and dusted! The West Indies go 2-0 up and seal the series with a spectacular victory at Tarouba! Matthew Forde executes another well-directed yorker attacking the off peg at 129 kph. Ottneil Baartman clears his front leg to make some room for himself to hit it through the off side, but fails to bring his bat down in time. The ball sneaks underneath his bat and disturbs the furniture in a flash. This is the third consecutive T20I series victory for the West Indies over South Africa now. The West Indian bowling unit appeared massively improved from the previous game and left the Proteas' batters reeling.
