With that being said, let us have a look at some of the many records that were shattered in the SA Vs WI 2nd T20I:
1. SA Vs WI: Record of the highest run-chase in T20 internationals
South Africa easily ended up chasing a frankly ridiculous target of 259. They also claimed the record of having the highest ever run chase in T20 internationals. Bulgaria previously held it, chasing down 245. It was put forth by Serbia. Bulgaria ended up scoring 246 for the loss of 4 wickets. As far as full member nations are concerned, Australia held the record. They had chased New Zealand’s 244 way back in 2018.
2. Highest score in the powerplay
What a win! 💥

5. Most runs scored in a T20 international
This game saw a total of 517 runs scored during the course of both innings. This is the first time in the history of the sport that the 500 run barrier has been crossed. That too in a T20 international between full-member nations. The previous record was from a match between India and West Indies.
A total of 489 runs were scored in the match. West Indies managed to get a tally of 245. On the other hand, India just one run short, at 244.
