South Africa vs West Indies, 2nd T20I, West Indies tour of South Africa, 2026 - Highlights

Nortje to Shepherd, FOUR, slower bumper at the body, Shepherd waits long enough on the pull and hits it over short fine

Nortje to Rutherford, SIX, Nortje's day isn't getting any better. Full in the slot, Rutherford swings hard and clubs it straight back. What a fifty! And it's fifty for Nortje too

Rabada to Rutherford, FOUR, my word, what a knock this is! Blazing drive through extra cover. Not that far from the blockhole, just missed it by a few inches and Rutherford smoked it

Rabada to Rutherford, FOUR, opens the face and guides it past short third! Such smart batting. A wide yorker angling away from over the wicket, and he's still sent it to the boundary

Marco Jansen to Rutherford, FOUR, again misses the yorker. In the slot outside off, Rutherford goes hard and drills it through extra cover. He's on fire out there!

Marco Jansen to Rutherford, FOUR, full outside off, in the slot and it disappears again! Rutherford opens the face and slices it over backward point

Marco Jansen to Rutherford, SIX, thunderous pull over midwicket! Slower short one, Rutherford picks it and bludgeons it over midwicket

Marco Jansen to Rutherford, SIX, couldn't have struck it any better! Dug in short, Rutherford climbs into it and nails the pull over midwicket

Kwena Maphaka to Rutherford, SIX, carved over third man! Short and very wide, he stretches out, somehow reaches out and opens the face while cutting it in the air. Flies over Jansen at the boundary

Kwena Maphaka to Shepherd, SIX, the free hit has gone a long way! Slower dipping full toss, he waits for it and smokes it over square leg

Markram to Rutherford, 2 runs, wrong shot and nearly pays the price! Oh has Jansen done some damage to his shoulder? Some concerned faces. But he gets up and the crowd cheers. Fired in at the stumps, not short enough to pull but Rutherford goes for it. Gets a thick top-edge that goes high, Jansen runs in from long-on, stretches out with his right hand but fails to hold on. Landed awkwardly and stayed down for a moment. Thankfully looks okay

Markram to Rutherford, FOUR, slow and loopy outside off, Rutherford dances down, reaches out and slices it over backward point

Maharaj to Hetmyer, out Caught by Brevis!! Maharaj has had Hetmyer under control all innings and now he gets rid of him. The plan has been the same - keep it wide outside off. Full and wide, makes him reach for the big shot and he slices it to deep point. A superb knock though. Hetmyer c Brevis b Maharaj 75(42) [4s-8 6s-3]

Maharaj to Powell, out Bowled!! Dragged on! Powell dances down but finds himself nowhere close to the pitch of it as the length is on the shorter side. He still swings wildly, only manages an inside edge and it crashes into the stumps. Powell b Maharaj 2(8)

Rabada to Brandon King, out Caught by Stubbs!! The crowd erupts as the catch is taken. End of the 126-run stand for the second wicket and it's Rabada with the breakthrough. Slanted in at the stumps, good length ball, King punches it in the air and it's a simple catch at long-on. He seems to suggest that he wanted to go over mid-off but got it off the inside half. Was just a punch, didn't go hard. Brandon King c Stubbs b Rabada 49(30) [4s-5 6s-3]

Kwena Maphaka to Brandon King, FOUR, and it continues. Full toss just outside off, King strikes it firmly and beats mid-off

Nortje to Hetmyer, FOUR, switches to round the wicket but it doesn't make a jot of a difference. Angled into the pads, Hetmyer clips it nicely, beats midwicket and it races away

Nortje to Hetmyer, SIX, look at the figures of Nortje. He's taking a pounding. Well down the leg-side, Hetmyer reaches out and helps it on its way over fine leg

Nortje to Hetmyer, SIX, fifty for Hetmyer! Back of a length around the waist, it's around middle, Hetmyer opens the front hip and pulls it a long way over square leg

Nortje to Hetmyer, FOUR, the boundaries continue to flow off Nortje! Markram now having a chat with him. His first over went for 24 remember. Short of length at the body, above the waist, and Hetmyer pulls it behind square

Markram to Hetmyer, SIX, way back into the crowd! Drifting in on middle and leg, full ball, and Hetmyer is down on one knee to play an electric slog-sweep. The moment he struck that you knew where it was headed

Markram to Hetmyer, FOUR, right in the slot for Hetmyer who hammers it straight back over the bowler's head. Nearly went all the way!

Maharaj to Brandon King, FOUR, slow on a length outside off, just enough width for King who waits in the crease and nails the cut shot through backward point. Got the timing spot on. Waited long enough, allowing it to come to him

Kwena Maphaka to Brandon King, leg byes, FOUR, off the thigh pad over the keeper! Was it the slower one? It's back of a length on leg, King is early through the pull and it possibly stays a touch low too. Sneaks through to hit the thigh pad and balloons over the keeper

Kwena Maphaka to Brandon King, SIX, swivels across and gets his pull shot spot on! It's around waist height on leg stump, King isn't able to fully extend the arms, more like a short-arm jab but the timing is sublime. Races away behind square

Kwena Maphaka to Hetmyer, FOUR, full toss on the pads, Hetmyer flicks nicely and beats short fine. The fielder in the deep can't do anything about it either

Nortje to Brandon King, SIX, Nortje taken to the cleaners! Again he uses his feet, backs away this time, gets a full toss and carves it over cover. 24 off the over!

Nortje to Brandon King, FOUR, flies off the edge over short third! Gives the charge, Nortje goes with a slower leg-cutter and King throws everything at it. Takes the top-edge and clears the man

Nortje to Brandon King, SIX, this is a serious shot! One of the flattest sixes you'll see. Barely got above two meters off the turf and went like a rocket over cover. Bashed in on back of a length, King makes room, goes hard and absolutely smashes the cover off it. Phew, watch out in the crowd!

Nortje to Brandon King, FOUR, again over the infield! Fuller than a good length on off, he goes through the line, doesn't make the cleanest of contact but it's good enough to clear mid-off

Nortje to Brandon King, FOUR, driven in the air over extra cover! Good length in the channel, King hits on the up, goes through with the shot and times it well enough

Marco Jansen to Hetmyer, FOUR, crunching drive through the off-side. Back of a length in the channel, he hits on the up and nails it through the covers

Rabada to Hetmyer, FOUR, now strays on middle and leg, and Hetmyer clips it nicely through midwicket

Rabada to Hetmyer, FOUR, angling away outside off, width on offer and Hetmyer slaps it hard through backward point

Marco Jansen to Hetmyer, FOUR, oh he was in no control! Short at the body, takes him by surprise and he's very late on the pull. Takes the top-edge over the keeper

Marco Jansen to Shai Hope, out Caught by de Kock!! South Africa are convinced about an edge. It's given not out and they've gone for the review. Short ball angling away outside off, he looks to pull, there's a noise as it goes to the keeper and UltraEdge confirms an under-edge. Hope already started walking once the review was taken. The ball seemed to hold up on in the pitch there. Shai Hope c de Kock b Marco Jansen 4(7) [4s-1]

Rabada to Shai Hope, FOUR, short outside off, Hope takes it on and pulls it hard over mid-on. Struck it really well
