South Africa chased 259 – the highest pursuit in men’s Twenty20 history – to beat West Indies in a record-breaking second T20 international.
Quinton de Kock smashed 100 from 44 balls as the hosts won by six wickets with seven balls to spare in Centurion.
Johnson Charles had earlier hit a 39-ball century in West Indies’ 258-5, the fastest T20 ton for their men’s side.
But De Kock and Reeza Hendricks, who hit 68 from 28, shared an opening stand of 152 and the Proteas won at a canter.
Charles beat the West Indies record previous held by Chris Gayle by eight balls, also making it the joint fourth fastest ton in men’s T20 internationals.
