Man of the match Gayle was again the star for the West Indies as he shared a second wicket stand of 152 off 75 balls with Marlon Samuels, who made 60.

The previous T20 record chase was 211 for four by India against Sri Lanka in Mohali in 2009/10. It mattered little to Gayle.

Gayle, who hit a 17-ball half-century in the first match, was only marginally slower in the second, reaching the mark off 20 deliveries with three sixes and seven fours.

The carnage continued, with Gayle bludgeoning the bowling even after his 50.

South Africa were still in with a chance when medium-pacer David Wiese had Gayle caught behind in the 14th over and followed up with the wickets of Samuels and Kieron Pollard, both caught at long-on, in his next over.

Even as Gayle walked off, West Indies needed 47 off 25 but the remaining batsmen were able to take the team through to seal the series.
