West Indies were mentally beaten even before they began their chase

Requiring 440 for victory, West Indies wilted under the mental pressure and could only manage 291 despite batting their full quota of 50 overs on the same surface. South Africa pocketed a comprehensive 148-run triumph to take a 2-0 lead in the 5-match series (which they would eventually win by a 4-1 margin).

But, the day was all about de Villiers and his unprecedented knock.

Brief Scores: South Africa – 439/2 from 50 overs (Hashim Amla 153*, AB de Villiers 149, Rilee Rossouw 128, Andre Russell 1/78); West Indies – 291/7 from 50 overs (Dwayne Smith 64, Denesh Ramdin 57, Morne Morkel 2/43, Vernon Philander 2/69)

Result – South Africa won by 148 runs
