South Africa chased 259 - the highest pursuit in T20 history - to beat West Indies by six wickets in a record-breaking second T20 international.

Staggering what totals sides can chase down these days, and SA got home with ease 7 balls remaining.

West Indies was the sixth highest T20 international score

I was stunned to see who scored the highest, and who against

In Johannesburg and Pretoria these type of games have a better chance of happening due to the altitude of the cities where the ball travels roughly 10% further than at sea level.

Several of those 6s today would have been comfortable boundary catches today for both sides.

Never the less it was an unbelievable display of hitting, with some shocking bowling it has to be said..
