Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Strictly speaking, the occasion didn’t warrant it – they do have bigger fish to fry against Netherlands next week – but an electric SuperSport Park on Sunday relived a ‘438’ moment of sorts in the Proteas’ second T20 against the West Indies.<\/p>\n

Aiden Markram and his troops needed to overhaul 258\/5 – the tallest chase in the history of T20 internationals – and duly did so, 17 years after Graeme Smith’s vintage famously surprised the Australians in a world record 50-over chase of 435 at the Wanderers.<\/p>\n

SCORECARD |<\/b> Proteas v West Indies – 2nd T20<\/p>\n

On that day, not many cricket fans and observers around the world believed a required rate of 8.68 could be sustained, and while the wild evolution of the 20-over format has illustrated to us that a chase of 244 – like Australia managed against New Zealand in 2018 – is possible, 13 an over still would’ve seen a fair share of Doubting Thomases emerge.<\/p>\n

Whether it was just the cheery optimism of starting a new white-ball era under Rob Walter or a Jacques Kallis walking into a muted dressing room quipping, ‘The bowlers have done their job boys \u2013 I reckon they’re 10 or 15 short’, the South African batting order weren’t going to stick to a script asking them to surrender meekly.<\/p>\n

Instead, Quinton de Kock and Reeza Hendricks crafted one of the most astonishing and memorable opening partnerships in the history of the format to orchestrate this absurdly thrilling, series-levelling victory.<\/p>\n

By the time the powerplay was done, the Proteas had reached 102 without loss, incidentally eclipsing the world record of 98 their selfsame opponents set against Sri Lanka in 2021.<\/p>\n

The 150 was reached in 10.2 overs, three balls before De Kock would be dismissed after skying a pull to Nicholas Pooran behind the stumps.<\/p>\n

The damage, however, was done.<\/p>\n

The pair could bask in work that was near-perfection.<\/p>\n

Seldom have two batters complemented each other so well.<\/p>\n

De Kock felt like the aggressor and he generally was, unleashing his trademark brand of hits all around the wicket, but reserving his best for square of the wicket.<\/p>\n

He broke his own South African record for the fastest fifty in the format by reaching the landmark in 15 deliveries.<\/p>\n

His maiden T20I hundred came at a more “sedate” 43 balls yet still represents the third quickest by a Protea.<\/p>\n

De Kock, who would end up hitting nine fours and eight sixes, might’ve been the dominant partner in terms of runs but, in a testament to the newfound class of Reeza Hendricks, who’s rapidly becoming South Africa’s most valuable and consistent batter in the format, he was outscored in terms of tempo.<\/p>\n

The silky right-hander was mesmerising to watch, striking 11 fours and two sixes with the minimum of fuss and fireworks in a 28-ball 68 that, in a parallel universe, might’ve been more important than De Kock’s innings.<\/p>\n

When he was undone by a Raymon Reifer slower bouncer, the Proteas had whittled down the required rate to a more than manageable 9 and all it required was the finishing touch of Markram’s muscular, unbeaten 38 off 21.<\/p>\n

Depressingly for the chastened Windies, it overshadowed all the noble deeds they had done with the bat.<\/p>\n

Johnson Charles, unexpectedly but not entirely unwelcomingly for an appreciative crowd, channeled his inner Chris Gayle as he galloped to a sensational first ton himself.<\/p>\n

It was a brilliant performance from the right-hander, who struck 11 maximums and 10 fours in a 46-ball 118 that broke the record for the islanders’ quickest ton in the format (39 deliveries).<\/p>\n

Charles, a veteran who was part of the Windies’ 2012 and 2016 T20 World Cup-winning campaigns, has been a journeyman in the format as his consistency has continually been cited as a blot on his copybook.<\/p>\n

However, all of those criticisms – like that of the Proteas’ patently insipid bowling effort – were forgotten as he conjured up what will probably be a once-in-a-career knock, a stay at the crease where he simply could do no wrong.<\/p>\n

Typically muscular square of the wicket on both sides, Charles also showed off some brilliant striking straighter. It was a chanceless effort, only ended when a Marco Jansen yorker on leg squeezed past his defence.<\/p>\n

In fact, had the lanky quick not shown a penchant for taking wickets amidst all the runs he conceded – he ended with 3\/52 – South Africa’s task might’ve been more nail-biting.<\/p>\n

He was matched almost blow-for-blow by Kyle Mayers, whose 24-ball 50 (Charles’ milestone came off 23) was equally eye-catching after he’d actually played out Aiden Markram’s first five deliveries for no run in the second over.<\/p>\n

Their second-wicket partnership of 135 off just 58 deliveries, predictably, put the Windies in a prime position for their record-breaking exploits, especially after Romario Shepherd’s 18-ball 41 applied the finishing touches.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the Proteas applied that template even better.<\/p>\n
