MATCH REPORT

Heinz Schenk - SuperSport Park

Strictly speaking, the occasion didn't warrant it - they do have bigger fish to fry against Netherlands next week - but an electric SuperSport Park on Sunday relived a '438' moment of sorts in the Proteas' second T20 against the West Indies.

Aiden Markram and his troops needed to overhaul 258/5 - the tallest chase in the history of T20 internationals - and duly did so, 17 years after Graeme Smith's vintage famously surprised the Australians in a world record 50-over chase of 435 at the Wanderers.

On that day, not many cricket fans and observers around the world believed a required rate of 8.68 could be sustained, and while the wild evolution of the 20-over format has illustrated to us that a chase of 244 - like Australia managed against New Zealand in 2018 - is possible, 13 an over still would've seen a fair share of Doubting Thomases emerge.

FULL MATCH REPORT

26 March 17:29

The West Indies must be wondering how this has happened.

Markram (36* off 18) is cruising along now, and SA need just 9 off the last 12 balls. 

26 March 17:28

SA need 14 off 15 now.

They are on the verge of completing the highest run chase in the history of T20 cricket. 

There are faces of disbelief all over SuperSport Park. 

26 March 17:26

THAT'S THE OVER SA NEEDED!

Markram takes 18 off that over and now the Proteas are nearly home! They need 23 off 18! 

26 March 17:20

WICKET! 

Oh dear! David Miller picks out long off and it is game on now! 

That's a huge wicket. 

Miller out for 10 (10).

SA need another 43 from 26. 

Heinrich Klaasen joins Markram at the crease. 

26 March 17:16

SA 210/3 (15)

They need 49 off the last 30 now. In the context of the game and what we have seen so far, that is very doable. 

However, it all seems a bit tense out there at the moment and there is the feeling it could still go either way. 

Let's see ...

26 March 17:10

SA 204/3 (14)

SA need 55 from 36 to record what will be, surely, one of the great wins in their T20 history. 

26 March 17:04

WICKET! 

Reeza Hendricks is gone!

He's edged a slower ball bouncer from Powell, and the Windies will feel like they are back in this with two new batters at the crease. 

Hendricks gone for 68 (28).

SA now 193/3 (12.4), needing another 66 from 44. 

26 March 16:58

WICKET! 

Rilee Rossouw entertained briefly, but he's hit this one straight to cover and he's gone!

He's out for 16 (4) having gone 4, 6, 6 with the first three balls he faced. 

SA 180/2 (12)

26 March 16:53

50 FOR HENDRICKS! 

That is some shot, punching Smith over cover for six! 

Hendricks brings up his half-century in just 22 balls! 

26 March 16:51

SA 156/1 (11)

26 March 16:50

WICKET! 

De Kock goes big and top-edges to Pooran behind the stumps! 

De Kock has been superb, but that wicket could be HUGE in the context of the game with the rain now falling and DLS a factor. 

He's out for 100 (44)

SA 152/1 (10.5)

26 March 16:46

100 FOR DE KOCK! 

What an incredible innings! 

De Kock gets to his first-ever T20 century off 43 balls - four more than Johnson Charles. 

South Africa had NO chance at the innings break, but De Kock and Hendricks (45* off 19) have been superb!   

This has been one of the great South African white-ball innings. 

26 March 16:45

SA 149/0 (10)

De Kock 99* (41)

Hendricks 45* (19)

26 March 16:39

SA 138/0 (9)

SA need 121 from 66 

26 March 16:34

SA 127/0 (8)

You won't believe this, but there are a few drops of rain starting to fall at Centurion! 

This game deserves better than that ...

26 March 16:33

STAT ATTACK

De Kock (80*) now has his highest score in T20Is, beating the 79 he had against India in 2019 ...

26 March 16:31

SA 115/0 (7)

In case you have forgotten that there is actually a contest on here given all the fireworks, SA need another 144 from 78 balls. 

What! A! Game! Whatever happens from here ...

26 March 16:25

RECORD ALERT!

SA 102/0 (6)

De Kock 62* (24)

Hendricks 35* (12)

This is the highest powerplay score by a Test playing nation in the history of T20I cricket! 

Incredible!

26 March 16:21

SA 92/0 (5)

It's been a quite ridiculous day of cricket so far! 

De Kock is flying ...

26 March 16:17

50 FOR DE KOCK! 

De Kock launches Shepherd over square leg for six!

De Kock goes to 50 off just 15 balls - the fastest ever by a South African! 

26 March 16:15

SA 78/0 (4)

Reeza Hendricks joins he party, hitting Holder for four boundaries in that over to take 16 off it! 

It's game on! 

26 March 16:12

STAT ATTACK 

The Proteas reached their team 50 in 2.4 overs, which equals the world record. New Zealand have done so twice - in 2009 against Scotland and exactly 10 years later against England.

26 March 16:11

SA 62/0 (3)

De Kock is 47* (14) and lighting Centurion up! 

It can't happen, right!? 

26 March 16:06

SA 42/0 (2)

Oh my word! De Kock has just smashed Cottrell all over the park! 

That over went for 29, and it hasn't taken long for Centurion to start believing! 

26 March 15:56

SA 13/0 (1)

Good start for the Proteas with De Kock and Hendricks both finding the fence there.

26 March 15:53

Here we go. 

The Proteas are about to start Mission Impossible. 

They need 259 to win ...

26 March 15:35

INNINGS UPDATE 

West Indies finish on 258/5 - their highest score ever in T20s. 

If the Proteas win, they will have to pull off the highest ever run chase in T20I cricket. 

Johnson Charles (118 of 46) was superb, but just take a look at these bowling figures! 

Parnell 2/43 (4)

Markram 0/22 (2)

Rabada 0/39 (4)

Jansen 3/52 (4)

Magala 0/67 (4)

Shamsi 0/33 (2)

26 March 15:28

WI 240/5 (19)

Magala to close ...

26 March 15:25

WICKET! 

Powell edges Parnell and is caught behind! 

WI 236/5 (18.2)

Very useful innings from Powell, who is out for 28 (19).

26 March 15:23

WI 234/4 (18)

Not much more to say than that ...

26 March 15:18

Jansen finishes 3/52 (4), and the Proteas look like they can't wait to get off the field. 

WI 217/4 (17)

26 March 15:14

It's been a tough day for Sisanda Magala.

He has gone 0/49 (3), and the Windies are well on track for 250 here. 

WI 206/4 (16)

26 March 15:09

WI 190/4 (15)

Charles may be out, but the Windies are poised for a big finish here and a HUGE total. 

26 March 15:04

WICKET! 

And Johnson Charles is out! Bowled by Jansen for 118 (46)! What a stunning innings that was! 

SuperSport Park is standing for one of the great T20 innings of all time.

Well batted, Sir! 

The Proteas will be VERY chuffed to see the back of him. 

WI 179/4 (14)

26 March 14:59

And now Charles starts the next over 6, 6 against Jansen ...

26 March 14:57

WI 161/3 (13)

Centurion is rocked. The Proteas are rocked. This has been incredible. 

26 March 14:56

CENTURY! 

That is very, very special from Johnson Charles! 

He launched Magala over cover for another six, and he brings up his maiden T20 ton off just 39 balls (9x4, 9x6). It's the fastest T20 century in West Indies history. 

And he's not done yet! 

26 March 14:52

Just 8 off that one from Rabada as SA try claw their way back into this. 

WI 148/3 (12)

26 March 14:48

WI 140/3 (11)

SA need to get Charles out ...

26 March 14:46

WICKET! 

Jansen gets another! 

It's Pooran this time, caught at mid-on, and the Proteas finally have some momentum going for them. 

WI 139/3 (10.4)

26 March 14:43

WICKET! 

Boy, did the Proteas need that! 

Mayers is out caught in the deep off Jansen for 51 (27). 

WI 137/2 (10.1)

26 March 14:42

10 OVER UPDATE

Another THREE sixes off that Shamsi over! 

WI 137/1 (10)

Yup, you're reading that right! 

It's been absolute carnage so far, and we're only half-way! 

Johnson Charles has been incredible bashing 82* (32).


26 March 14:37

It's getting a little bit ridiculous now, and it's raining boundaries! 

Another 21 off that over from Markram. 

WI 118/1 (9)

Charles 70* off 29

Mayers 44* off 23

26 March 14:34

WI 97/1 (8) ...

18.5 - Comment! South Africa won by 6 wickets.
18.5 - Comment! Rovman Powell: Yes sometimes put your body in the line. I will be fine. It was crazy. We thought it was enough. But credit to Quinton and the others and we failed with the bat. Johnson was great and he took the attack to the opposition. That is very good. The guys are in the right direction and just take the positive things out of it. I am used to it getting to 240+ and losing. Pace off the ball worked and me and Reifer did our job.
18.5 - Comment! Man of the match - Quinton de Kock (South Africa): Runs:100 - Balls:44 - 4s:9 - 6s:8 - SR:227.27.
18.5 - Comment! Quinton de Kock: All we had to do was choose the right options and hope for the best. Fast runs can be scored especially when playing at Centurion. Yeah, it was quite special. Reeza did what he does. It was nice to get to these milestones. We knew the ball would travel quickly here. It is a long road out there. I have been looking for something like this for a long time. We don't play a lot of cricket at Centurion, so doing so at my home ground was very special. Once I knew I was getting them from the middle, I went with the shots. Reeza too said the same. Its about keeping it simple and playing according to the situation. We knew that the nature of the wicket helps batting. We knew that even if we go for a few runs with the ball we can do it with the bat. And that is what exactly we achieved. Happy with the result.
18.5 - Comment! Aiden Markram: The margin of error is nil and we have to improve our bowling. It happens. It was vibrant. We can chase it down and the guys believed we can chase it down. Yes very much so. Great game to be a part of. Two great knocks to see for us. We knew we were off the boil. Credit to Quinny and the rest to get us the start. Reeza does it her own way and played great cricketing shots. I guess he showed his class. The coach is happy and we backed our options. The guys did their job. Yes it is down to the last game and exciting game on Tuesday night and we have to see the conditions in Joburg. The crowds have been superb and a big thank you to them. We have had two good games of cricket.
18.5 - Comment! That is it for this match. Hope you all had enjoyed our live coverage. Do change tabs and enjoy all the action. For now, cheers and bye.
