South Africa won the two-match series 2-0, after they won the opening match by 13 runs on Wednesday at the same venue.
For the second time in a row West Indies won the toss and put the opposition in. They also did well to restrict South Africa to 120. The West Indian batsmen, however, felt wanting yet again and fell short by one run.
Brief scores: South Africa: 120 for seven off 20 overs (David Miller 33, Johan Botha 23; Jerome Taylor 3-15);
West Indies: 119 for seven off 20 overs (Dwayne Bravo 40, Shivnarine Chanderpaul 29; Johan Botha 3-22, Morne Morkel 2-15).
Result: South Africa won by one run.
