The third T20 International between South Africa and West Indies takes place at The Wanderers on Tuesday where a series win is up for grabs.
The first two matches of this three match series were staged at Centurion and it's honours even at one win a piece.
The first contest on Saturday was reduced to 11 overs per side due to rain and West Indies came out on top by 3 wickets. The Proteas posted 131/8 (Miller 48) with the wickets shared around. West Indies got home with 3 balls to spare largely due to Rovman Powell's unbeaten 43.
On Sunday the Proteas squared the series with a thrilling 6 wicket win in a record breaking run chase. West Indies posted a massive 258/5 in the full 20 overs with Johnson Charles smashing 115. In the chase de Kock (100) and Hendricks (68) put on 152 for the first stick and after 4 wickets fell in quick succession Markram and Klaasen got South Africa over the line with 7 balls to spare.
This is how the teams lined up in the second T20.
South Africa: Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Rilee Rossouw, Aiden Markram (c), David Miller, Heinrich Klaasen, Marco Jansen, Wayne Parnell, Sisanda Magala, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi
West Indies: Kyle Mayers, Brandon King, Johnson Charles, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Rovman Powell (c), Jason Holder, Raymon Reifer, Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Odean Smith, Sheldon Cottrell
