Inn Break
Right then. That is it from this nail-biting thriller where South Africa takes a 2-1 lead. West Indies will look to come back stronger after back-to-back losses. They will meet again on 1st July 0600 local (2000 GMT) for the fourth T20I where West Indies will be looking for revenge at all costs to level the series. Till then, goodbye and take care!
South Africa skipper, Temba Bavuma says that it is a big confidence boost for the team. Adds that these are the type of situations they like to find themselves in. Mentions that they will continue to have conversations with the staff and the team to reach the 180 mark but it is not a matter of concern for them. States that it was nice having Aiden at his disposal as it helps to have a sixth bowler. Says that Tabraiz makes his job a lot easier and Linde is learning from him. Finally says that it is important for them to keep working and let the result take care of itself.
West Indies skipper, Kieron Pollard says that getting off to a good start and not making the most of it hurts them. Tells they need to work on the dot balls they played. Pollard says time and time again one has such close matches and sometimes one ends up on the wrong side. Adds they need to find their way. Pollard credits the bowlers for their effort and says they have been excellent. Mentions Obed McCoy and says that he has shown that he is growing and tells the youngsters in the team are looking to grow.
Stay tuned for the presentations!
For his game-changing bowling performance, Tabraiz Shamsi is named the Player of the Match! Shamsi says that it was nice to put on a performance for the team. Adds that Quinny once again showed his class and the bowlers delivered it well. Mentions that he has to change his line and lengths according to the batsmen, says that this a young group of players and they are learning very quickly. Goes onto say that it is nice to bowl like this and is happy with the performance of the bowling unit. Finally says that the wickets are getting tougher and gives full credit to the batters as they started off really well.
Earlier in the day, South Africa were put to bat by Pollard. Quinton de Kock, on his 50th T20I, played a very good knock of 72. The Proteas on the back of that managed to get to 167. At one stage it looked like they would get a total in excess of 180 but they faltered with the bat at the death. They managed to get away with it this time as the hosts failed to find their way out of Shamsi's web. Obed McCoy was once again the star with the ball for West Indies as he finished with 4/22. His brilliant efforts though went in vain.
South Africa have made it two-in-two and taken the lead. There was a lot of chatter about their bowling in the death but the pace trio of Nortje, Rabada and Ngidi have delivered. Especially the former. His penultimate over changed the tide of the game. The real star of the show though was Tabraiz Shamsi. He was just too good. It looked like West Indies game when he came on to bowl but his 2/13 from 4 overs just changed the fate of the game. Ngidi too redeemed himself by getting a wicket and being relatively economical. Rabada was expensive but did the job and got the big wicket of Pollard. Markram and Linde were expensive but overall a very good display from South Africa.
Chasing 168, West Indies got off to a good start as the pair of Simmons and Lewis started with a 55-run stand. Both the openers departed in quick succession. Holder and Hetmyer then added a 33-run stand but once again wickets fell in quick succession as the hosts lost 3 wickets for 14 runs. That created a sense of danger but Russell's 25 calmed that. Not for long though as his cameo did not last long. Pooran who had taken his time to settle failed to capitalize and finish the game for his side. Too much was left to do in the final over and Allen was unable to get his side over the line.
Fantastic bowling in the death from Rabada and Nortje. Their brilliance in the final two overs has seen their side snatch victory from a very difficult situation and take the lead in the series. West Indies, with all their power hitters, have thrown away a game that looked to be in their grasp.

Kagiso Rabada To Lendl Simmons
Fires a yorker on off, Simmons squeezes it out to backward point. South African players think it's a catch as Simmons has hit it directly. The umpires refer it to the third umpire. The soft signal is not out. The third umpire too confirms it hit the ground and got carried on one bounce.
The umpires have gone upstairs to check the legitimacy of the catch. The soft signal is NOT OUT! There needs to be conclusive evidence for it to be overturned.
