"A whirlwind 95-run opening partnership between the captain, Aiden Markram (82 not out), and Quinton de Kock (47) in eight overs made short work of the chase. Ryan Rickelton added an unbeaten 45 and South Africa motored to 177 for one in 16.1 overs and stretched their unbeaten record in the tournament to six games."
"Markram set the tone for the chase by smashing seven fours and four sixes in his 82 off 46 balls. De Kock hit four sixes and four fours in his 24-ball 47. Rickelton maintained the express scoring with 45 off 28 balls. He and Markram shared an unbroken stand of 82 and South Africa won with more than three overs to spare."
"Holder and Shepherd pushed the accelerator in the death overs. Holder smashed Marco Jansen for 23 runs in the 18th before he was run out. Fast bowlers Romario Shepherd and Jason Holder could not bowl West Indies to victory after batting their side to respectability with a remarkable 89-run stand."
