South Africa have named a full-strength squad for their two One-Day Internationals against the Netherlands with the side needing victory in both to keep alive hopes of automatic qualification for the Cricket World Cup in India later this year.
PRETORIA: South Africa pulled off the highest successful run chase in Twenty20 international cricket on Sunday (Mar 26) to beat the West Indies by six wickets at Centurion on an afternoon of blistering assault on the ball as well as the record books.
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.
South Africa set a new record for chasing in international T20 cricket when they scored 259 for four to beat West Indies by six wickets at Centurion on Sunday. Johnson Charles smashed a 39-ball century for the visitors as they posted an imposing 258 for five, the joint sixth-highest total in T20 internationals. However, Quinton de Kock responded with 100 from 44 balls, a maiden T20 century, while fellow opener Reeza Hendricks hit 68. Captain Aiden Markram (38) saw his side home with seven balls to spare.
