Watch: It’s like 438 game – Hendricks
Reeza Hendricks on the Proteas’ record T20I run chase against the West Indies and his opening partnership with Quinton de Kock.
The Proteas celebrated a famous six-wicket win against the West Indies in the second T20I in Centurion yesterday.
Johnson Charles smashed a 39-ball century for the visitors as they posted an imposing 258-5, the joint sixth-highest total in T20Is.
However, Quinton de Kock responded with 100 from 44 balls, a maiden T20I century, while fellow opener Reeza Hendricks hit 68.
De Kock shared an opening stand of 152 in 10.5 overs with Hendricks to set up the win.
Hendricks’ 28-ball assault on the West Indies bowlers featured 11 fours and two sixes.
De Kock clubbed three sixes off successive balls from Sheldon Cottrell in a second over which yielded 29 runs.
South Africa scored 102 runs in the six-over power play, a record in matches between test nations.
The series is tied at 1-all and the final match will be played tomorrow at the Wanderers in Johannesburg.
Watch as Hendricks likens the match to the fifth ODI played between Australia and South Africa in 2006:
