West Indies vs South Africa: WI level the T20I series

Coming back to the contest, the West Indies posted a respectable total of 167/6 from their 20 overs courtesy of an unbeaten 25-ball 51 from skipper Kieron Pollard. Pollard's blistering knock included two boundaries and five maximums at a strike rate of 204.

Apart from the explosive middle-order batsman, opener, Lendl Simmons had ensured a good start for the Windies with a 34-ball 47.

In reply, the visitors lost wickets at regular intervals despite a valiant effort from wicket-keeper batsman Quinton de Kock who scored a good 43-ball 60 at a strike rate of almost 140, and apart from Aiden Markram who scored a run-a-ball 20, none of the other batsmen could offer much resistance as the Temba Bavuma-led side were eventually restricted to 146/9 from their 20 overs.

By the virtue of this 21-run win, the reigning T20 world champions are alive in the five-match series as the series is tied at 2-2. The fifth & final T20I will be played at the same venue on Saturday.
