South Africa won the toss and decided to bowl in the second T20 international against the West Indies at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Sunday.

“The wicket played nicely yesterday, hopefully we can bowl well,” said South African captain Aiden Markram. “If we can keep them below 200 we will be happy.”
