A collapse of 7 for 20, and South Africa surrender from a winning position to give an unbeatable series lead to West Indies. That leaves them with only pride to play for in the third T20I on Tuesday. Remember, West Indies had also won 3-0 in May, when these two sides had last met for a T20I series. But until the final game of this tour, it is goodnight - or even a good morning, depending on where you're following us from - as we wrap it up from Tarouba! Take care!

Morvin: "Give one word as to how it has boiled down to all this" --- Mystery!

Rovman Powell: "We put the pressure after the powerplay. Wickets would bring us back in the game. T20 cricket can change very fast. I'm pretty excited [with Athanaze]... Brandon King is our No. 1 opener, and he is not here. It's always good to beat such a good team. They are a quality team, nevertheless. It has become a regular here in Trinidad - we are forever grateful to the people of Trinidad."

Aiden Markram: "Somewhere in the middle overs [the balance shifted]. We did well in the powerplay, which is really nice to see compared to the other evening. [Williams] has been around for a while; proper competitor. It's tough to put a finger on the learnings right now. One thing guaranteed with us is a never-say-die attitude."

Romario Shepherd is the Player of the Match: "I'm very pleased. I just paid more attention to my execution. I take it ball by ball... In T20 cricket, you can't come back by thinking about your past performances. I executed better today. My role is to come, and try and hit as much as possible."

Time for the presentations

Harsh S: "A much improved death bowling show from the Windies compared to just a couple days ago. No no-balls or straying deliveries this time."

Tim Bean: "SA have really snatched defeat from the jaws of victory here!"

6.31pm South Africa were 57 for 0 after four overs. Even after losing two wickets from there, they sat at a commanding 71 after the powerplay. But in nearly 14 overs since, all they managed was 78 runs, with all eight of the remaining wickets gone. Romario Shepherd led the way for West Indies, as he discovered that the key was change of pace on a slow, gripping surface. Left-arm spin twins Hosein and Motie also realised that teasing the batters with a lack of pace was crucial, not least because there was some turn available for them. All that resulted in a familiar collapse - and another disappointment - for South Africa. Hang around for the presentations.

Forde to Baartman, OUT, bowled him! This is too full and too fast for Baartman! He was standing on middle while looking to drive, but was beaten. The off stump was pinged, as West Indies win by 30 runs, and take the series with one game left

Forde to Baartman, no run, slower ball, and full outside off. He went driving, but missed

Forde to Maphaka, 1 run, Baartman is nearly run-out, and the confusion kind of sums up South Africa's day! Maphaka jammed this yorker to the off side, and they ran, only for some mix-up for the run

Forde to Baartman, 1 run, short delivery on middle, and he swivels to pull to deep-backward square leg

Forde will bowl the last over

Joseph to Baartman, 1 leg bye, a full toss which ends up hitting his pad on leg stump as he looked to nudge, and the ball trickles down the leg side

Joseph to Baartman, no run, another yorker, and a bit wide of off. He flashes, but misses
