NEW DELHI: The SuperSport Park in Centurion witnessed a batting mayhem as South Africa brushed away West Indies by six wickets to register the highest ever successful run chase in T20Is.
A jaw-dropping 517 runs were scored combined in the match as bowlers from both the sides were taken to the cleaners.
For the hosts, it was opener Quinton de Kock, who went ballistic with a 44-ball ton to lay a solid platform in chase after West Indies raked up their highest ever T20I total of 258 for five.
Johnson Charles fired the fastest T20I century for West Indies in the shortest format after hosts opted to bowl first on a batting paradise. Along with Charles, opener Kyle Mayers (51 off 27) and Romario Shepherd (18-ball 41*) smoked the Proteas bowlers to lift their side to a massive total.
In the chase, De Kock went all guns blazing from the word go and Reeza Hendricks (68 off 28) provided him the perfect support. Skipper Aiden Markram (38*) and in-form Heinrich Klaasen (7 ball 16*) then wrapped up the chase with 7 balls to spare.
With the emphatic win, South Africa levelled the 3-match series 1-1.
