Highest Twenty20 chases of all time

#4 Windies: 6/236 vs South Africa at Johannesburg, 2015

Proteas skipper Faf du Plessis became the first ever South African to score a century in all three formats of international cricket on the way to powering his side to a confidence instilling total of 7/231. In an innings where five batsmen went back to the pavilion for sub-20 scores, du Plessis' 119(56) was an innings of impact.

In the second dig, Windies, who were hurting from a smarting in the preceding Test series, decided to show the hosts that this was a format they wouldn't be intimidated in. Led by an opening onslaught by none other than the Twenty20 G.O.A.T. Chris Gayle's 90(41), they made South Africa's personal record tally look embarrassingly inadequate.

Gayle was backed by the Caribbean's man for the big occasions Marlon Samuels, whose 60(39) ensured that the lower order did not even have to break a sweat to scale the total, captain Darren Sammy sent the ball soaring across the Wanderers sky to seal the then highest chase in the format with four balls spared.
