It was powerplay all throughout.
A combined total of 413 runs in 40 overs by the two sides in a playtime of about 3 hours.
South Africa won the toss and elected to field first.
The West Indies amassed 205 runs, as what would appear to be a massive total by One Day International standards, in the allotted 20 overs. South Africa delivered an equally fast game by scoring 208 runs to achieve that target in 2nd ball of the 18th over.
The game today saw a shower of boundaries. There were 54 occasions in the course of the match when the balls travelled across the boundary for a 4 or 6 during the game. The impressive knock of 117 runs in 57 balls with 7 fours and 10 sixes earned him his man of the match.
The series certainly promises to be entertaining from the perspecitve of an audience.

You are right. The new form - Twenty20 - is quite impressive. The game yesterday was too, just too, interesting.
